I can't take American waste...

Two interesting tidbits worth remembering:

"Nine days after the United States was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, President Bush stood before a joint session of Congress and rallied the nation to a new mission. On Thursday, nine days after it became apparent that New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast had been devastated by Hurricane Katrina, Mr. Bush stood in an auditorium across the street from the White House and directed storm victims to a Web site and a toll-free telephone number."

In 2004, when less intense hurricanes threatened Florida, a swing state governed by his brother in an election year, the president was Georgie-on-the-spot. FEMA acted so decisively that it's still under investigation for disbursing more than $30 million of "disaster relief" in Miami/Dade County, 100 miles from the nearest gale force winds-including six claims of "ice and snow damage."

Just something to think about...not only now, but next year at the midterm elections and in 2008 as well.
