I can't believe that he is at 34% approval rating.
What is really bothering me is what we have no idea
or knowledge of , as of this moment.
Take a look at Madcow tonight, they have a piece there , that links the UEA with Al Qaida and the CIA.
Call me old fashion, but if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck...It is a duck.
He should be at a 10% rating and that would be from the Neo Cons.

Katrina Relief .......... Florida/Texas Boycott
College Spring Break - is coming up in many colleges and universities all across the country.
Rather than going to Florida for spring break and dumping hard earned disposable incomes in the
State of Governor Jeb Bush and boosting that economy with your dollars,... think of an alternative place to spend those funds. A criminal
cabal of politicians and governmental authorities
who conspire to hijack democracy by way of blatant
election systems and voter frauds - should be made to suffer the consequences. Hit these criminal
individuals where it hurts them most - in their change purse and their wallets. Don't just spend your money - vote with your dollars - Diebold can"t
tamper with that result.
Spring Break vacationers,... mid winter family sun/fun vacationers,... the sun does not just shine in Texas and Florida. New Orleans and the State of Louisiana could surely use an injection of dollars into their economy,... I'll bet they could use some
encouragement also. Don"t support/enable the devil
with your dollars.

I don't mean to be snotty, but this is a new development about old news --- In fact, this news is at least a couple of weeks old.
The sworn Brownie Katrina Senate hearing testimony confirmed that the president DID in fact know the day the levees broke (when he decided to do his photo-ops for the next 2 days).
I felt like I was in "reverse bizarro world" when this news was front-paged in the corporate media but was nowhere to be seen in the liberal blogs.
I'm glad this story is finally getting some resonance that it deserves! Better late than never.
And this video may very well be the nail in the ol' coffin. Let's hope the American populace make it a "silver bullet".

Liar, liar. Never-elected President.
On BBC's HardTalk program, Bernstein (who with Woodward reported the Watergate break-in) was interviewed recently. He called the Resident a liar, but almost casually --- it is now common knowledge that W lies, and is surrounded by liars! Bernstein said another obvious thing: the current crisis is far worse than Watergate, and must be investigated completely so the guilty are brought to justice (or words to that effect). He lamented the horrible TV media in the US. He also spoke of how hard it is for the few good reporters and bloggers left now to bring the truth to the public when faced with a white house that is intent on preventing that, and skillful at diverting the public attention.
Closer and closer comes the day of reckoning for those who have hijacked the US.

From the AP report on the story:
"'I hope people don't draw conclusions from the president getting a single briefing,' presidential spokesman Trent Duffy said."
OK. Fine.
How about if we draw conclusions from the president getting briefing-after-briefing-after-briefing?
How about the Presidential Daily Briefing of August 6, 2001, curiously titled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike Inside U.S.?"
How about the briefing he got from Richard Clarke in September 2001 telling him Saddam had absolutely NOTHING to do with 9/11?
How about the briefing he got telling him not to use the yellow cake information, since even the Germans had backed away from their own intel?
How about the briefing he DIDN'T get telling him his Vice President had just shot a man in the face in a beer-soaked blood orgy?
How about the briefing he got telling him . . .
Oh, never mind!
Just let us know what the benchmark standard of proof is for a formal determination that this hateful little jug-eared, pig-eyed lout is so criminally negligent as to be removable from office.
We'll all be waiting.

You know at this point I am fully expecting to wake up one morning & learn that the president, the vice-president & a majority of the members of congress have been systemically raping & murdering five-year-olds for the last four or five years and that it's all been captured on video, and what will then ensue will be some calls for a full investigation into whether any laws have been broken and some proposals to amend existing law to accomodate these alleged occasional necessary forays into pedophilia & homicide for national security purposes.

Of course, September 11, that was completely different. They would never lie about the extent of their foreknowledge before that!

Yeah, it's pretty damn sad that the richest nation in the world can't make a decent levee system. Actually, we are the nation with the richest people (crooks) in the world. Everybody else is on the credit card.

Here's the letter I'm sending to every major media outlet. You all feel free to crib and send your own:
Dear Editor,
The video footage of the Katrina briefings is the smoking gun which proves the Bush administration was criminally negligent in their response to Katrina. The only conclusion one can reach--Bush and Chertoff deliberately stalled and withheld aid.
This footage makes one wonder about two things--first, about the unanswered questions about 9-11--most specifically, how on earth did the 47-story WTC Building #7, two blocks from the towers, spontaneously collapse at 5 PM on 9-11? Controlled detonation is the only rational explanation. It no longer seems so farfetched that this administration would either stage or facilitate an attack its own citizens to advance its political agenda. Secondly, it makes one wonder just what else they have in store for us. As the administration prepares its military response to the "bird flu pandemic" and Kellogg Brown & Root receives hundreds of billions to build detention centers on US soil... God help us all.
It's time to drop the pretense that the people in charge are Good Guys and begin the criminal investigations. Before it's too late for America.
Sincerely,

This tape will be great for the 2006 and 2008 campaigns - since the Republicans are not demanding anything of Bush then Democrats will gain control over all of the things that they have asked for.
Now if we could just get somebody with enough '****s* to throw IMPEACHMENT on the floor of the House with our list of Bush's many blunders - we just may be able to get rid of him before 2008.
Now wouldn't THAT be nice?

Federal government's response/awareness to
Hurricane (Corina - says Mrs. Bush) KATRINA.
Secretary Michael Chertoff of The Department of Homeland Security gets his Katrina weather forecast information from AccuWeather Inc. -
rather than from either The National Weather
Service or The National Hurricane Center,.. both
of which are tax payer supported weather reporting
agencies. (bushco - dismantle/decimate governmental agencies - "privatize",.. "ownership
society",.. "maximize corporate bottom-line profits")
CLICK HERE AGAIN
Do we "privatize" our emergency response - federal
governmental agencies at our peril ? Is this bushco
rush to "privatize" "denationalize" to achieve his
dream of a "total ownership society",... nothing
but a blundering, boondoggle of buffoonery,... that will become the worse nightmare for tax paying working class America ?
AccuWeather Inc. aren't they from Pennsylvania ?
Are they politically well connected,.. to they contribute vast sums to political campaigns ?
Is Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) from Pennsylvania,... does he hold AccuWeather Inc.
near and dear to his heart ?

I'm from the New Orleans area, a city called Slidell, LA. Slidell caught the eye of Hurricane Katrina. My favorite restaurants were destroyed, the church I was baptized in was destroyed, the south half of Slidell was flooded, tall pines all over town fell on houses and businesses, and one tall pine almost hit my Mom's house but missed by 7 feet and went over the swimming pool (but that's better than the house!).
I understand the difference between a levee "breach" and a levee "overtopping" or "topped". Do you? Apparently the mainstream media that you watch does not.
Watch the video of Nat'l Hurricane Center Max Mayfield again and please listen carefully. Mr. Mayfield said that there was no way to know if the levee on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain would be "topped". He did not say breached.
The levees that broke ("breached") were the ones on the canals going through the city and along the large Industrial Canal.
If you overfill your bathtub, it will overflow. The hurricane pushed more water into the lake basin than it could handle. The wind circulating counter-clockwise pushed the lake water against the lake's levee. Go back to your bathtub and hit the side with a sledge hammer. That is a breach, which Max Mayfield did not mention. He said "topped". Get it? Refer to a map of south Louisiana if you have to for understanding as to how the hurricane could push water in to Lake Pontchartrain.
The President is the one that said "breached". He said that perhaps no one knew that the levees could be breached. I'll suprise you here: The President is wrong about that too (but perhaps unknowingly). He probably was talking about his advisors, that no one in his group said levees. Actually some scientists in New Orleans have predicted the levees might break for years due to the bad design from the Army Corps of Engineers who built them.
So this video is being mis-used by the mainstream media and you liberals as evidence of Pres.Bush's lie, when actually the mainstream media is lying about the tape because they can't report the difference between "breach" and "topped".
If you can't understand or don't accept the difference between those words, then you are completely unreasonable.
If so, that is because your hatred of this President drives you too far from reason.
Have a "nice" day!

Later that morning BubbleBoybush departs Crawford Ranch to return to The White House. As he flies from Texas to Washington D.C., Air Force One drops down from 20,000 ft. to 1,700 ft and strafes the areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
He does not bother to land Air Force One and touch foot on the ground in or near the damaged areas
of the Gulf Coast States,... but continues to fly on to Washington D.C.. Two days later,.. Friday, September 2, 2005 he returns to view the worst areas damaged in Louisiana and Mississippi. All
hats off and a big cheer for pResident BubbleBoy,..
