George Bush also told the bridge to fall? Did he also tell the rain to stop falling in Georgia and Florida and send it to the Mid-West? Did he also make all of the Earthquakes happen? What about forest fires and random murders of young people? Does he also make mothers kill their unborn children? I may have gone a little overboard but the idea is the same, there are things that President Bush is at fault for, but most of the things that he is blamed for are not in his power or responsibility to care for. |
George Bush is absolutely NOT responsible for the bridge collapse, I dont ever remember blaming him for that either. Nor is he responsible for lack of rain or any other natural disaster or state negligence. A country as large and with as much infrastructure as the US is bound to have an accident or two. There are just too many things to keep an eye on and inspect. I may be wrong on the matter, but accidents do happen. The president is in no way responsible for those accidents.
I was actually just referring to priorities being upside down.
Example:
~George Bush~
"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002

New Orleans, is a different Story,( the hurricane could not have been prevented, but everything else could have ) it was no accident and concerns have been expressed years earlier. Are you aware that the engineers that had been put in charge of upgrading and reinforcing the levy's specifically warned the administration ( or the FEMA director )that the levy's were sinking and need immediate funding for repair in order to avoid a disaster? Instead of giving funding Bush, DECREASED funding by 20% as cuts had to be made in the federal budget. The 20% which was cut from the levy's went to support the cost of the Iraq war. ( this is just another example of upside down priorities
)
This was a special on CNN, I will try to find an article online on the matter.
