The Disaster President

The frame behind this:

Buffeted by criticism over the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, President Bush said Tuesday he will oversee an investigation into what went wrong and why _ in part to be sure the country could withstand more storms or attack.

Bush also announced he is sending Vice President Dick Cheney to the Gulf Coast region on Thursday to help determine whether the government is doing all that it can.

"Bureaucracy is not going to stand in the way of getting the job done for the people," the president said after a meeting at the White House with his Cabinet on storm recovery efforts.

Is so Bush can make it seem like he's in control (giggle) and actually cares (giggle giggle). I say best situation some paper pusher in FEMA gets the axe, not FEMA director I-have-no-experience-with-emergencies-and-it-shows Michael Brown, or DHS secretary I-choose-what-to-selectively-ignore-and-like-frolicking-like-a-little-bunny-while-people-starve-in-a-superdome-and-I-don't-pay-attention Michael Chertoff. What will probably happen is this 'investigation,' whose findings have already been decided upon, will reveal that it was the locas government's fault, but that still does not warrant greater federal oversight. They will just have to live with those pesky hurricanes because that's what they deserve for living there.

Besides, in this pass the buck administration Bush will probably go back on vacation to make up for the 3 days he lost and pass the work off to someone else. There's no way he'll actually do anything.

Asshole.
