Overextended?

I hear Bush's approval ratings are going down. I think Nature might have particiapated in that poll.

So...why isn't the hurricane fallout officially a "national emergency?" or is it already?
With so much chaos in New Orleans, you'd think that Bush would spring to action to prevent a breeding ground of terrorists from forming...Right? Because that's what he cares about. Terrorism. Is that what it would take to get a better response? Someone whisper in his ear that it was actually a well-calculated Al-Quaida attack.

Well to be fair, I'm sure he was very upset when air force one flew over New Orleans, but something tells me the lack of response was due at least some of the following - cockiness and the myth that is America is untouchable, scarcitiy of military resources, and an emotional removal from his constituents. For F*s sake, he wouldn't even talk to the mother of a soldier that died under his watch and to be fair, he can't talk to everyone whose child dies in the war, but not all that many ask for him. It's like we're his parents and he's not doing what he should just because someone told him to. Rebellious actions for the sake of pride only hurt yourself, George.

I was watching BBC and the commentator said something to the effect of, "the richest country of the world" can't even take care of our people. guilty! *raises hand*
