Bush's idiocies

Ray and I last night were talking about the situation on the Gulf Coast after Katrina's destruction, and I came up with 3 points that clearly show how we have a failed President:

1. Bush was an idiot not to leave his ranch and go back to DC to start preparing for the aftermath of Katrina.
   
   Everybody knew it was gonna be big and hit hard (we actually thought it might be worse than this,) but he didn't care. He just couldn't be pried away from his vacation by ANYTHING or ANYONE under ANY circumstances. A real President, a good President, a President worthy of his title would have taken charge. Not Bush.
   A President still interested in doing his job and in the American people who put him back in office (how painful it is to actually write that...), would have seized the oportunity to help. Not Bush.
   A shrewd and cynical politician of Bush's caliber would have at least seen the opportunity to improve his standing in the polls, now at their lowest ever. Not Bush.
   He's too lethargic or idiotic to even see that.


2. Bush was an idiot for sticking to his schedule while disaster was striking.
   
   I mean, if he valued his vacation time more than helping Americans and doing his job, then he could have stayed at the ranch, pretending he was working, and then do anything he pleased: take a nap, play with his dog, watch a movie, read (oops, my bad, he doesn't read...) No one would have known.
   Just tell the press you're working on the situation, close the shades, and then just ignore it like you usually do. Instead he went to a Country Club in sunny Arizona and then to even sunnier California, where he was PHOTOGRAPHED playing the guitar.
   I mean, c'mon, how stupid can you be?! At least TRY to hide your indifference.


3. Bush was an idiot for sticking to his schedule not only because it made him look awfully out of touch with reality and un-Presidential, but also because by giving his two speeches when he did, NOBODY LISTENED to him or CARED about what he had to say.
   
   It was a total waste of politicking, an idiotic decision. He totally wasted two speeches that now he can't give again, nobody was paying any attention whatsoever to his rants, given what was happening a few states eastward, and he showed once again how his priorities DO NOT MATCH those of the public.
   He'd rather talk about Medicare and the war in Iraq, two topics on which he's losing ground every day, then get ready to help his fellow citizens.

All considered, how worse can Bush's performance get? Well, he still has 3+ years to go, so, let's all brace for Hurrican George's coming devastation.
