Is Bush's late respone to milk this to have another 911 poll boost?

[JohnnyBoots]

You know tough work, the country needs to come together(and support the pres), we are all in this together etc. Is it to distract from Iraq and future invasions? To allow gas prices to sky rocket (Make $$ while you can -the Haliburton contracts) Is it just rich kid apathy for the poor? Or is it just plain incompetence?

1. If it was ...

5. I haven't heard one person, aside from Rush and Hannity, say he has done a

good job.

2. Incompetence

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. I think he's going to try to use the 9/11 date to draw comparisons

to the Gulf coast "struggle" and "hard work"...and it will fail.

6. I think that is exactly what it is

Too little, too late. I think he has screwed himself with this, but I think that was the intentention.

7. I don't think he is getting a pass on this

There is too much anger now that the immediate shock has worn off.

8. It is not anger anymore, it

is RAGE!!! all across the country to boot.

9. If his poll numbers goe up from this,

I'm going to have to leave this country.
