Normally I'd agree with you, but since voters tended to make decisions based on nothing they were involved in. Let me clarify. It's become comical how all red staters hate *** Marrige and Terrorism yet neither really effects their state.
Same here, maybe those people, who havn't seen papers, televisions, or much of anything since the damn thing hit probably wouldn't notice how slow footed the responce would be.
Why do you think he was so slow getting there? Because Karl Rove hadn't told him to show up yet? Because he was pushing medicare issues in Arizona, or because he was on good Morning America.
He's said things that are inherently stupid. That Micheal Browning was doing a good job, that no one thought the levee's would break.
The hurricanes are comprable. he went to Florida for votes, and now he's lame duck, he doesn't care, and the race issue is a huge case, because its hard to ignore the large minority population in New Orleans and then in FL where he visited so often, has a majority of the majority.
Seeing as I can't go back and read the other points you made without erasing the above, Ill leave it at this for now.
The bottom line is, I don't think he's doing such a great job when it comes to anything, even on the things I think were right. That speech, could have been the Gettysberg Address, it doesn't remove the years of neglect.
