Bush; a little late a little short

President Bush plans to meet with officials and workers down on the Gulf Coast today, refusing to make a stop in New Orleans, where at this point im sure isnt welcome anyways. Where was the President 5 days ago? A little town in Texas named Crawford. Why is it, that Tsunami victims back in December had food and water supplies in 2 days yet in New Orleans there is still people starving to death? Here it is Friday now and President Bush gave a speech saying for 3 days in a row now "Help is on the way." Yet another hopeless promise given by our president. Sri Lanka and other nations are offering thier support and troops which will more than likely be part of the rescue efforts before our own country is. There has been a high amount of criticism regarding the amount of troops sent to the battered coast, most of Louisianas National Guard which is trained specifically to handle natural distasters on the coast, are in Iraq right now. Mayor Ray Nagin has grilled the Federal Government and the Bush Administration for thier poor efforts given to his area. Nagin was also quoted asking the White House to "Get up off your asses!" Is it right that he has to blast the White House as he did simply to get help? What is it going to take? This really goes to show the true colors of a president whos done absolutly nothing to help in this situation. Victims still stranded are asking "Where is the President I voted for?" Do you think Bush really cares what happens down there? After all regardless of criticism and the turn out of this all, he has no chances of re-election in 2008, really, what is another fly-over in the Air Force-1 going to do? What is meeting with the still stranded and dying victims going to do? At this point the only reassurance is actual food and water. These people havent eaten, some of them in 5 days or more, how long can the human body survive when pushed to such agonizing limits? Its really heart breaking to see such a beautiful city and the beautiful citizens of New Orleans hold on for dear life as they are. If Bush's criticism was food, the whole city of New Orleans would be fed. ~ds~
