It makes me angry when I think back to that made for gullible American television production, the one that showed the Air Force One fly-over with George looking out the window making comments about the destruction in New Orleans, it was an all out effort to show the country he was on the job! Well now we know for sure, what a whole lot of us suspected back then, George Bush knew about the devastating probabilities, he knew the levees were a problem, he knew there were problems with evacuation, he knew there were concerns about the Super Dome, he knew that American citizens were in danger and he WAS NOT all that he could be, he DID NOT do all that he could do to protect them! Maintaining his vacation schedule, a staged event with senior citizens regarding Medicare and prescription drugs, a birthday photo-op with John McCain, and a visit to Naval Base Coronado where he received guitar lessons while New Orleans suffered, is proof positive, he was not engaged, he was not concerned, he did not care what was happening in New Orleans or up and down the devastated Gulf Coast. He did not fulfill his oath to protect the American people! And if this is his response to a natural disaster, how can anyone think he’s the man in the event there’s another terrorist attack? I for one remember that fateful day in September, another day when warnings were ignored, a day when George flew to Nebraska for his safety and security, leaving others to face the grueling, overwhelming, devastating results of planes used for missiles, the day that 3000 American citizens died!

Another typical, golly, gee, “I didn’t know” from George W. Bush, only to find out months later, HE DID KNOW! What will it take for this Congress and America to figure it all out----will it be anthrax, nerve gas, a nuclear bomb, to open the eyes of those left after another attack to finally see the intentional incompetence? How many must die before America wakes up? Are those infamous members of Congress, who find they must run around their elbows before they get to ground zero, ever going to realize they work for the people, and not King George? It's past time for them to do the job they were hired to do---and that includes impeaching a president who, at every turn, chooses the almighty dollar over the Constitution and the American people!

Seems bow-ties don’t always guarantee honesty from conservative pundits! Tucker Carlson, who by the way always portrays himself as “honest,” isn’t as up front as he pretends to be. While slamming Patrick Fitzgerald for his indictment of Scooter Libby, Tucker failed to reveal his dear old Dad, “is on the advisory committee of the Libby Legal Defense Trust, the GOP-heavy-hitter-laden group that has so far raised $2 million.” That hardly lends to an objective, impartial matter of opinion!
