4. Sounds very stilted. They've been cramming him with sentences
and it may be too much for him

6. He sounds like he is trying to brag about what he is doing
Showing no compassion what so ever. He's so f-in arrogant, i can't stand his voice.

33. He was certainly reporting. He kept saying "I instruct" and then naming
something that other people were already doing. It seemed ironic and stupid to me. The title of the post is sarcastic.

42. And this is a tragic event he KNEW was coming
and it sounds like he didn't say anything very important. Gee, sorry I missed it.:crazy: My God, if an earthquake hits here, please just tell him to stay away!

Lots of words but nothing specific about what will be done

13. he said that they will immediately
find resources to help the displaced citizens like housing, education and health care and that his admin will work on this.... uhhhh... if you want it to work, maybe you should ask someone like Howard Dean to organize this.

14. Somehow I don't find the words "task force"
very comforting. It sounds so bureaucratic.

25. Yes, like they have to study global warming some more.
That bit gave me chills. Task Forces should have been working on this kind of evacuation plan for years. It's not as though the Gulf isn't a strategic target for terrorists, never mind hurricanes. I'm much more upset after seeing the fucktard speak.

This is a stinking mess. It is not about war. He's bored. What a bomb of an address about the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history.

32. No, and I was specifically looking for him, too
You'd think that the head of the Office of National Preparedness might have wanted to show up for this, but he obviously had other priorities.

34. How much clearer could "I don't really care" be?
Nobody seems to care very much.

43. They truly don't care --- that's what it comes down to
I think it's hard for the average American to wrap her or his innocent and trusting mind around that hard truth, but we are bugs on the windshield to BushCo.

24. Translation: Instructing people to continue to fail as they have already
been failing. Sounds about right.

26. I have never seen a shorter, more inadequate response in my life!
Either he is a paper doll repeating lines crammed into him, or he genuinely doesn't give a shit.

27. I sat with mouth wide open....

30. He added nothing new except "task forces" which wouldn't be needed if
the government was properly funded. Welcome to privatization--the underfunded public sector and the bloated private sector.

Makes as much sense as any he's said so far.

39. That's exactly the impression I got
If they ran the Iraq debacle the same way, no wonder it became a debacle.
