Good things about George W Bush.

He is apparently a great and gifted poet.

Another great thing about George, he puts up with the neanderthals of the far left without getting rankled or ruffled.

Subject: Timeline-






Day 1: Monday,. August 29: Hurricane Katrina slams into Gulf. At 10:00AM, President Bush arrives at the Pueblo El Mirage RV Resort in Arizona.



Later that afternoon he appears in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. for a similar, light-hearted event, where he chats with seniors about his plan for prescription drug benefits.



Day 2: Tuesday, August 30: The first glimpse of damage is impressive. Whole communities have been wiped out. New Orleans is flooding. There is no water or toilet facility in the dome. Reports of death are coming in. The levee is breached in New Orleans.

Where is our president during this? He is back in El Mirage, Arizona celebrating John McCains birthday.



Later that afternoon he delivers another speech, this time about immigration. Even later that afternoon, he is again back in California playing to his preferred audience at the San Diego Naval Base, where he accepts the gift of a guitar. The photo is says it all. Bush strums while New Orleans floods.



Day 3: Wednesday, August 31. Cries for a helicopter drop of water are getting louder. Thousands are at the Convention Center without food, water, or toilet facilities. The situation is nearly the same at the Superdome. After allowing American citizens to go three days without water because of prior commitments, Bush finally directs Homeland Security Secretary Cherthoff to coordinate all federal assistance from Washington and puts FEMA Director Mike Brown is in charge of all federal response and recovery efforts in the field"

Day 4: Thursday, September 1. Helicopter arrives at the convention center in the presence of TV cameras. They have a few hundred bottles of water and a few MREs for the thousands of thirsty evacuees. Two babies and several elderly have died. Television cameras leave. No more helicopters or water appears.

Day 5: Friday, September 2: As he comes under growing criticism and as the death toll mounts, he leaves for another fly-over with better press coverage. During the presidents visit, all air drops of food, water, and needed supplies are stopped. No one is evacuated or rescued from oven-like roofs or attics for several hours. The area has become a no-fly-zone. This is day five without water or food or a clean place to lie down.

That evening, according to a Dutch citizen who viewed German TV reports and blogged the translation of its coverage said, "the president's visit was a completely staged event. Their crew (ZDF's) witnessed how the open-air food distribution point Bush visited in front of the cameras was torn down immediately after the president and the herd of 'news people' had left and that others which were allegedly being set up were abandoned at the same time. The people in the area were once again left to fend for themselves, said ZDF TV".

Day 6: Saturday, September 3: Senator Landrieu issues the following press release: "Touring this critical site yesterday with the President, I saw what I believed to be a real and significant effort to get a handle on a major cause of this catastrophe. Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hours later, it became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment."

Day 7: Sunday, September 04, 2005: Homeland Security Secretary appears on Sunday Morning talk shows defending the administration and all of its efforts and applauds FEMA and others for jobs well done under the most pressing of circumstances.
