Has everyone got it figured out now finally?
That our president is a massive piece of shit. One of the worst natural disasters in the history of our country hits New Orleans, and he spends Monday (or maybe it was Tuesday, I can't quite remember) afternoon playing golf, after giving some bullshit cheerleading session here in my city of San Diego. Then he proceeds to take his sweet ass time, goes for a flyby over New Orleans a day later, and remarks how it really is pretty bad. As if it takes a fly over to figure that out. And now it's Friday, and there are still thousands of people who have not eaten or had any water in days. I realize the situation is dire and things can't be fixed perfectly and immediately, but we have a military who trains for wars and who can fly emergency relief to people around the world, in the middle of warzones, and drop them food and supplies. And you're telling me that FIVE days after the fact our government can't get supplies to people a half days drive away? Give me a fuckin' break!
Not to mention the fact that in 2000 and 2001 there were requests for money from the government to fix and reinforce the levees around New Orleans, and they were denied and disregarded, just as was the intelligence that terrorists were going to fly planes into the World Trade Towers.
And oh yea, although it has never really been said outright, everyone knows we went to war in Iraq to secure cheap oil, and what do we have? Oil that is over $3 a gallon in cities around the country. (Sidebar: Personally I think this is a good thing because it may light a fire under people and industry to make a harder pursuit towards renewable and alternative energies.) People are going to be struggling to pay for oil to heat their homes this winter.
So if you haven't figured it out yet, this administration and your president (he sure as hell isn't mine) don't give a shit about you. And if you're one of those people who still think this clown is a good patriotic president, you've got some serious problems. Take a step back and look at what's really going on.
