On CNN's In the Money today, Jack Cafferty suggested that President Bush is devoting too much time to the natural disasters in the southeastern United States: "President Bush is calling on Americans to drive less, in between the trips on Air Force One to the Gulf Coast, which seems to be happening about every six hours in the last week or ten days."
Yet only weeks ago, Cafferty was berating the President for not doing enough. On August 31, he sarcastically asked Wolf Blitzer, host of CNN's The Situation Room, "Where's President Bush? Is he still on vacation?" When Blitzer told him that Mr. Bush was cutting his vacation short because of the devastation, Cafferty said that "would be a good idea."
So is the President now spending too much time on the catastrophes after being roundly criticized by Cafferty and others for not doing enough? My suspicion is there's nothing Bush can do that would satisfy some folks. Including Cafferty.
I don't think it matters how we answer this one. CNN can take this poll either way and slam the President.
Of course he is..........*rolls eyes*
WELL, DUH!
Jack spends his time on mindless cavils
Like Bush's mileage during travels.
But Jack could better use his craft
If he measured Blanco's graft.
Checking Nagin could be good
And counting cops per N'Awlins 'hood.
It's always Bush's fault
Translation: "Is Bush damned if he does, or if he doesn't"? Notice there is no consideration that he may be paying the APPROPRIATE amount of attention - he surely wrong somehow.
Actually, I wouldn't call that a suspicion. That is the truth. Period. And it applies to many, many people both left and right.

Yep, what's really going on here is decades of publik edukashun brainwashing our children to believe that EVERYTHING is someone else's fault.
Self esteem GOOD - personal accountability/responsibility BAD.
And the great irony...
Personal accountability and responsibility are THE ONLY ways to create REAL self esteem. Go figure.
Cafferty needs to make up his mind. He was the first to jump all over the President about not being in NOLA Katrina... guess he's upset the President's numbers are rising.
In the same vein as " have you quit beating your wife?" .
Cafferty's been more of an ass than usual since Katrina.
I don't see him often enough to know: Is Cafferty supposed to be like a poor man's Andy Rooney? Or maybe Andy Rooney without the obvious anti-religious streak?
Jack Cafferty blows.
By golly, you're right.
CNN's Cafferty pleads guilty to hit-run in New York
But I see where Jack said he was "unaware" he'd hit the guy. That's good enough. Let him continue moralizing.
Or Halliburton's.
