Goodbye, Big Easy

This confirms what I wrote about last week:

The president stood in New Orleans and said it was going to be one of the largest reconstruction efforts in the history of the world. You go to the White house home page, there's Barney cam, there's Social Security, there's Renewing Iraq. Where's renewing New Orleans? A presidential advisor told me that issue has fallen so far off the radar screen, you can't find it.


We are losing an entire city and part of this country's history and Bush does not care. The most fitting epithet for Bush is not that he is a uniter, divider, leader, idiot, failure, inspiring, or any other adjective. He is apathetic. Bush is an apathetic person and president.

Apathy is one of the worst qualities a person can exhibit, and Bush exhibits all too much of it. Bush is the Progressive nemesis because of what all his policies and actions boil down to: apathy, which is the opposite of empathy, the most important Progressive quality.
