Where's George W Bush when his people really need him? He's full of false bravado when it comes to bombing other countries, but when it comes to averting a crisis where people are dying by the hour he's nowhere to be seen.

Discuss.
 
The french! :)

I think right now Bush is hiding from people who KNOW he and his repug cronies cut funding for flood prevention programs EVERY YEAR since he came into power.

And also giving smug press conferences where he says the people of Louisiana and the Mississippi need resolve, cos they as fuck ain't getting no help from the Preznit!
 
New Orleans!
Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
New Orleans!
Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!
If you want to go to hell, you should make that trip,
To the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp'!
 
I also liked how, in a press conference the other day, Bush referred to his golf coach. Then I realised he meant Gulf Coast.
 
And here's Michael Moore's open letter to George Jr:

Friday, September 2nd, 2005

Dear Mr. Bush:

Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?

Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!

I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?

And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!

On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.

There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.

No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!

You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.

Yours,

Michael Moore

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with them before they get to DC on September 21st.
 
Moore's completely wrong of course, and making everything up, just like he did in "Farenheit 9/11". GW Bush is impeachable as President. He is decisive, shows exemplary leadership, and devoted to helping the poor and huddled masses of the United States.
 
I can't fucking believe the RICHEST NATION IN THE WORLD! has gotten US the AUSTRALIANS to give over $10 million to them to help out, cunts, they are gonna collapse in a fucking heap, I feel soo fucking soory for all those hurt and dead in this horrific event, but they had it coming, purely because of who they supposdley voted in again...but then again, did they?
 
On another note, how many dumb fucking yanks ar ereally listening to everyone around them telling them how bad GWB was is and forever will be as a president, this truely is a dark time in civilised history, hopefully it will only get better and soon. Remember the Romans never seen their end coming either, poor bastards
 
Haha. If I posted that on my other forum, the Bushies would say something about Communism, as if it's somehow relevant to being able to evacuate that many people, and something like, "Well, they have typhoons in China all the time, they should be able to evacuate," or something stupid like that.
 
It may not be George Bush's fault directly, but we continually hear, see and read about the US resolve and readiness to support their own people in the time of a disaster - and clearly that did not happen at all. Some heads are gonna roll..
