Ok, I know a lot of you are Bush supporters but this really has me upset. We have a major catastrophic hurricane heading right towards New Orleans, one of the cities with the highest rate of poverty in the south, so you have almost 100 THOUSAND PEOPLE, that are not able to leave the city.
Small children, elderly and infirm residents and people living paycheck to paycheck who have no money to pay for gas or even a car to leave town are stranded in this city. And WHERE is our president?
On vacation.
Look, you wanted this job. You fought, lied, cheated and stole to get this job. You lead a country that is in the middle of a war that has your citizens being killed and maimed, not to mention separated from their families for months and years at a time. None of them holding a gun in the middle of a sandstorm in 100 degree heat while wearing 40 pounds of gear can take a vacation.
If you lead our country, then dammit LEAD our country when we need a leader. As long as any American is in danger of harm, whether from war or a natural disaster, you should not be on vacation. You should be at work, taking care of the very people that you are supposed to be protecting.
Get steppin.
