Dave;

What galls me, is that; after the 9/11 fiasco (the *federal* response was
completely uninspired - bordering on lame), after the Iraq fiasco (They
lied, and KNEW they were lying, and got caught!!), and now after the New
Orleans fiasco (I can't even sum it in one line!); Nobody is calling for
this leader's head! I can't imagine any chief executive of any corporation getting away with this level of contempt for his shareholders without being
summarily and publicly fired and sued into bankruptcy.

I suppose what galls me more, is that I will not be surprised to see the
whole thing "spun" and swept under the carpet - Like the Iraq fiasco. I have been asking myself this same question for months now; Where are the American people? And how much more of this are they prepared to swallow, before they
vomit?!!

Marc

The more I think about our Commander-in-Chief's  "performance" in
Mississippi, the more resentful and angry I get.  I am referring to
the two very comely black women whom he hugged profusely and kissed
on their heads (which appeared to have been freshly coiffed!) as they
cried their tale of woe to him for all the nation to see and hear:
"And, we don't have any clothes!"  Try to tell me that these women
were not carefully selected from crowds of the faithful and "cleaned
up" to be both attractive and presentable to the Prez' as foils for
his caring performance.  I am not criticizing them at all; they were
needy and deserving of all the help that they, and others, too, could
receive.  But, what riles me is that this, like any other public
Presidential event appeared to be wholly staged.  I mean, you didn't
see our Prez' hugging a middle-aged morbidly obese person of either
gender whose clothes stank from having to wade through flooded
streets and whose hair was disheveled from days of perspiring with no
showers, did you?

ARGHHH!
