over at This Is Not Over alli completely articulated my entire problem with the whole bush team response *or lack thereof* to the tragedy in new orleans. i could not have said it better if i had taken a week to think about it before writing it. it is unconscionable that as a man he hasn't been more affected by this whole thing. i watch tv, read an article, THINK about it, and i get teary eyed. it's unbelievable that his white house has not expressed more EMOTION about this whole thing. i understand that maybe there weren't the resources available. maybe there was nothing that could be done, i don't believe that, but im willing to give that much benefit of the doubt. but when i heard ray nagin's emotional cry for help i previously posted it made me respect the man as a man. he was desperate, hurting for his people, his city, his life. bush has shown none of that. it's sickening how far removed he is from the country he "leads." it's literally sickening.
