*shaking with rage*

I'm ready to call the White House. There is a phone number. What the fuck are we doing in Iraq when we need our National Guard here to help with relief?

George Bush doesn't give a fuck about anyone. First the tsunami, now this. Sitting on his ass, what a worthless president....

Hearing about the busses turned away from the Astrodome, I started wondering how far away Crawford is from all that. There's an empty residence that could probably shelter several families...

Okay, I don't feel like such a weirdo now. Because that's exactly what's been going through my head.

You're not alone. [livejournal.com profile] wildernessguru said it first in our house. Here's the word from someone there (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050902/ap_on_re_us/hurricane_katrina):

"You can do everything for other countries, but you can't do nothing for your own people," 47-year-old Daniel Edwards added. "You can go overseas with the military, but you can't get them down here."

Call. Email. Speak up.

New Orleans looks like a third world country, only our response time is slower.

I read that story.

People were taking what they needed- and threatened with being shot dead. peopel tried to prepare food in an abandoned kitchen at the convention center, andthey are threatened and told to leave.

Why? The food will go bad if it is not used!

It's horrible an dvery sickening and i am so angry- with myself, my government. I am so ashamed.

I don't even live there and I'm pissed off every time I see him on tv.

I agree, Dubya is definitely making sure everybody around the globe knows for damn sure he is a piss poor president.

He sure didn't come into presidency for the people, that's for certain.

I'll be glad when he's outta there.

But I am somewhat afraid of what idiot is next in line for destroying this country.

And watching him on tv this morning "the response has been unacceptable" - duh, you idiot. Except he sounds more like he is saying other people's response has been unacceptable when he should be saying it into a mirror.

And then after the implied attack on the handful of people who actually tried to help, Bush then said, "Make it so."

*cringe*

Five days. I want to leave him on a roof in the blazing sun for five days with no food or drink, and policemen with guns loaded and waiting for him if he so much as thinks about stealing.
