The place was a disaster area and Bush didn't even land his ****ing

I accept his reason for this one.

People like Olbermann would have had a field day ripping him apart for
causing local police and resources to be distracted from more immediate
and
important jobs. (not that the local, corrupt police were doing their
jobs
... my comment, not Bush's)

Eisboch

It's a lame excuse. The President of the United States should make a
showing when one of our cities is nearly wiped off the map.

Convenient excuse that's inexusable.

Actually he should stay home and monitor the situation. Bringing in the
President and all the security required, just messes up things. About like
the traffic when the President comes to town. Freeways shutdown for short
times, streets blocked.

Eisboch made your point earlier. It's a lame excuse that allowed him
to remain at arm's length from a national crisis. One of our cities
was nearly wiped off the map. I'm not suggesting he go there for the
cameras but that he go there and survey the situation and talk to
people himself so that he could measure a proper response. Presidents
and Governors do this all the time. It wasn't worth his time.

Whatever wake he, his security and entourage would create would be
less than a pin drop in the hell that was New Orleans.

He later remarked about how he felt sad that the location of youthful
follies had succumbed to mother nature.

That was his point of reference.

You still claiming to be a Democrat or have you finally come out?
