Senator: Did Bush vacation delay response?

AP ^ | 09/07/05

[GailA]

The House and Senate Dems are screaming about President Bush being on vacation while Katrina was happening. President Bush while on vacation gave the orders to declare NO-LA a disaster area BEFORE Katrina hit, thus triggering FEMA and federal assistance into action.

Where was CONGRESS? ON VACATION! Where was US Rep Harold Ford JUNIOR when the vote for the $10.5 Billion in assistance to the storm victims was being taken......ON VACATION!

Now the Dems are screaming about the RED TAPE....They need to point their fingers right back at themselves....THEY put those RED TAPE RULES IN PLACE in the first place!

Puting FEMA or NG tropps inside the expected storm area would have put them and their supplies in danger of being destroyed. They had to be positioned outside the expected storm zone to be able to help the storm victims.

[George W. Bush]

This is just goofy.

I am going to proudly post here...without reading the article, because I've heard it all before. Same song, three hundred and fifty-second verse.

Hey, Senator Reid...was your predictable response to the response delayed because of your vacation?

"How much time did the president spend dealing with this emerging crisis while he was on vacation? Did the fact that he was outside of Washington, D.C., have any effect on the federal government's response?" ----

Anyone who asks questions this foolish ought to be tarred and feathered.

Come to think of it, Reid would look real good with feathers.

Did Clinton's obsession with keeping his Johnson drained cause him to forget about the terror that was occurring in the US?
Did a white-eye roll back cause Clinton to demand that our military bomb an aspirin factory?
Nah, that didn't matter!!!!!!! Just keep strokin'.

Exactly! GW and the whole US Army needed to be in downtown New Orleans while Katrina was 5 miles offshore. That is the only way that the leftists (Liberal Democrats) in this country will be close to satisfied.

How about the satellite photo below to blow away more of the MSM lies about the Dome and refugees and the evil GW. Thanks to Bushcountry for posting this.

Dingy Harry spends his time off talking to imaginary skateboarding kids in Searchlight, NV.

[ladyinred]

Just when you think they can't sink any lower, they do.

[Cautor]

And they say dingy Harry is the brightest bulb to ever come out of Searchlight NV. Maybe so, that's he's still one dim bulb on the Democrap's tree.

How do you type in that upside-down Spanish exclamation mark?

LOL, copy and paste! You're welcome to copy and paste my upside-down Spanish exclamation mark.

The damocrats are eager to use a national disaster for their own partisan political purpose. May they perish.
