Address To The Nation

[Houndish]

Hey look Dubya's on TV! He just called hurricane Katrina a "cruel and wasteful storm". I wonder who dubya thinks SENT that storm... Why is he making an adress 2 weeks after the storm hit... this is an absolute shit fuck of a mess. The ultimate kick in the nuts was when FEMA director Michael Brown resigned... WTF IS THAT!? This guy's job is to handle monumental disasters and get's paid hundreds of thousands to do so effectively... when a natural disaster comes around that actually does some serious damage... THE FUCKER QUITS!

Ooo did you hear that "the government will be [partners] with Louisiana and Mississippi and cities like New Orleans and other gulf coast cities to make them most accessible." Nothing like Big Brother literally in your back yard... you conspiracy theorists can run with that one.

As far as moving all the displaced people all over the country... I think that's a fucking horrible idea. The people left in that city were of the poorest and most unfortunate social cases in New Orleans, the "Big Easy". If these people can't hack it in the "Big Easy" how the fuck they gonna get jobs here in the Northeast... where technology knowledge, communication skills and work ethic are the main essentials. These people should help rebuild their godamn city... or better yet. I propose we take all elligible refugees of these states and temporarily enlist them in the military... rather than put them on fucking welfare or social security (now there's and oxymoron) or however they're paying them. Keep them on domestic soil but enlist them none the less... shit I think that's a fucking damn good idea. Train these people to do something useful... I dunno anyone watching this shit? End Rant.

I can't help but think how satisfying it'd be to land a punch on this asshole's glass jaw. Nothing fancy, just a quick snap jab with the flick of the knuckles to add a nice little sting to the blow.

How this asshole came to power, I can only blame the idiocy of the American public. He's made political satirists obsolete, made bigger lies than Clinton about matters that dragged us into a multibillion expedition, and can barely string together sentences more coherent than your average lobotomy patient.

You guys are forgetting that the president really has no real power, even if he vetoes something congress can get it passed. He really doesn't do shit. So what if he isn't that smart, it doesn't actually matter at all. Back in the day when the balance of powers was actually still working it would, but not really so much today.

[Adrian_Faythe]

Perhaps, perhaps not. He still retains the power to pass or veto bills, and the fact that America has an idiot as their figurehead leader doesn't do much for the global image.

The president is definetly a key playmaker in the game of politics. Although the actual beliefs and policies stem more from the adminstration's ideas than those of his own. However you have to understand the difference between a successful and effective commander in chief and this guy... a poll last night taken in Sept. shows an all time high DISapproval rate of the president's actions at 51%. More than half the country thinks this guy sucks... that's fucking huge... I tell you what, the guy following Dubya isn't going to have to do much to outshine him. I just hope the next president isn't left with an unfixable mess...
