I am so angry.

If you are referring to my post, I clearly said that much of the criticism is warranted. I just find it funny that Bush keeping his distance - when criticized for not keeping his distance in the 9/11 disaster - is ridiculous.
Would you be critical if he didn't view the damage? (See! He doesn't care enough to even look at it!) Would you be critical if he took a huge security entourage to the area so he could view it up close (all the money he spent to come view it just to look good could have gone to the relief efforts! He's just getting in the way so he can look good!)
Criticize the progress thus far. Criticize the stupid statements of Hastert and the FEMA guy and the homeland security guy. Be critical of a lack of a plan when it has literally been discussed for 50 years that a big hurricane could do this the NO. But the "uncaring" comments, to me, are ridiculous.
