Comments on: Bush Never Recovered From Katrina

Advisors Say The President "Broke His Bond With The Public," "It Was The Final Nail In The Coffin"

[bienhoa1968]

9/11 (the biggest disaster in American History) happened while we had an incompetent Republican president and all of his incompetent Republican cronies, including the incompetent Republican congress which was being lead by all of Bush''s fellow draft dodging, coward politicians. The Repugnicans are willing to destroy the USA, just so they can win the Civil War.

Kerry is a wimp. Wouldn''''t have been a good choice.

I agree.

The man''s an IDIOT.

Any man who would allow Karl Rove to redefine him into a coward and Alabama Bush into a war hero did not deserve the White House.

Kerry is just one in a long line of distinguished Gigolo-Senators.

The only one who one upped him in this game is John McCain!

Snagging Cindy has to be John McCain''s greatest accomplishment!

What a Babe! And the seven or ten houses don''t hurt either!!

[collis12]

Why are we surprised? We knew from the beginning that this Bush knew even less than the first Bush. At least the first one had some political experience behind him. The only reason this guy got re elected is because Cheney and Rove scaared people into thinking that we needed him because we were at war. Nobody, at least the "base" that reelected this guy realized that he had no say so about the war or how it was to be fought, he was a puppet who did what he was told and when the ship sank he got all the blame for being the captain. I bet he is so happy to be out of the White House and having to take orders that he never understood.

"But Kerry would have been an excellent president. A soldiers president.."

Kerry is a wimp. Wouldn''t have been a good choice.

Katrina was a disaster like no other. 9/11 same thing. Would anything be any different right now. Katrina would still be a staggering catastrophe. Local leadership however may have imporved. The latest snow storms shows how limited the govt. is in saving the day.

[gregorio57]

I am from New Orleans and most of the people who were trapped there after Katrina were there due to their own laziness. You could have walked out of harm''s way given that there was three days notice! Katrina was NOT Bush''s fault. New Orleans was hit by hurricane Camille in 1969 and then did nothing for decades to protect itself. Yes, the federal government could have done better, but I feel it was really local and state government''s responsibility. I was back in New Orleans the day after the storm hit and there was understandably a lot of confusion. The only people who helped me after the storm was the federal government.

National Security was an obvious platform after a thing like 9/11, doncha think?

*********************************

Yes, and Bush handled it terribly.

[bienhoa1968]

George W. Bush and Big *** Chaney will go down in American history as the most incompetent, draft dodging cowards ever to lead this country. The only people who truely appreciate them are the bible pounding right, millionaires and billionaires, big oil, and oh yeah all of them inbreeding southern rebels who are still fighting the civil war and have an IQ of 25.

[whitemale08]

I knew when Republicans failed on that faithful morning on 9/11 that they should never ever run a campaign on national security.

Then Katrina happened and again Republicans failed the 2nd test of the Constitution which was the welfare of the peoples.

Then Financial Crisis, just when you think that the worse president in history couldn''t do worse, he tops himself.

Not only did he help create the crisis by bragging about phony ''home-ownership'' and rising wages based off fake ''home-equity increases'' but his solution was ''let the evil bankers'' loot the rest of the country.

Oh my, what have we done to ourselves by letting this complete moron ruin this country for the last 8 years?

I don''t think we or our children will ever forgive us for this.

Wilkerson said, adding that he considered Cheney probably the "most astute, bureaucratic entrepreneur" he''d ever met.

"He became vice president well before George Bush picked him," Wilkerson said of Cheney. "And he began to manipulate things from that point on, knowing that he was going to be able to convince this guy to pick him, knowing that he was then going to be able to wade into the vacuums that existed around George Bush - personality vacuum, character vacuum, details vacuum, experience vacuum.

*****************************************

Ouch! I think that "vacuum" will be George''s true legacy, but the article forgot "intellegence vacuum." And that, in the end, was truly what was missing. It takes a big intellect to handle the presidency, and George just is lacking in that. It is really not his fault that he was a lousey president, it is our fault for electing him.

[bpai99]

To those who say Bush and Cheney should be indicted/tried/convicted/punished for war crimes, you are deluding yourselves that we live in a nation under the rule by law. So what if they broke laws and undermined the Constitution - they won''t be punished because of the power they wielded. Deal with it.

[centerfall94]

Bush and Cheney should be tried for war crimes and high treason at the Hague. Nothing less, at this point, suffices. As Bush falls from power the calls for him to atone for what he has done over the past eight years will grow louder.

[aztecdakota]

ALSO two wars that have never been won. No payback for the Twin Towers henious attack. And I am sure , over 5000 body bags, and unimaginable numbers of wounded. The worst American President ever. Don''t blame it on just one Hurricane.

[hennighg]

Then why did he keep putting more nails in the coffin. Gosh, that guy is GOOD at putting nails in coffins! Now we finally have something to tell people that he''s good at!

[spinproof]

True, never recovered and a "B" Movie performance comes to mind.

[wingnutsblow]

cBS always runs pieces critical of the president in the middle of the night. By daylight, Bush will once again be the greatest thing since canned beer. That ain''t journalism, folks.

[incog-nito]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The cat is finally out of the bag (Actually it''s been out for years now).

[barbaraf4]

And all we did for eight years was to complain. Why was he elected for a 2nd term? Why wasn''t there an uprising to remove him from office?

[engineer1503]

"The Decider."

Two companies and one country financially, morally, militarily, and sprirtually bankrupt. That sums him up.
