If you believe the crap that Beloved Leader is about to go off and spout, then hey I got a bridge across Lake Ponchartrain I'd like to sell you. A really long, low bridge.
Bush stopped in Pascagoula, Miss., where he toured a nearby Chevron refinery. Accompanying him were Sen. Trent Lott and Rep. Chip Pickering, both Mississippi Republicans, and several senior White House officials.
Because making sure that the OIL stuff is protected is Job One, right?
In his text, Bush, who was to speak from a New Orleans park, said the federal government would work with state and local authorities "so they can rebuild in a sensible, well-planned way."
"Federal funds will cover the great majority of the costs of repairing public infrastructure in the disaster zone, from roads and bridges to schools and water systems. Our goal is to get the work done quickly. And taxpayers expect this work to be done honestly and wisely — so we will have a team of inspector generals reviewing all expenditures."
Ah, yeah and we're getting those federal funds from where again? Oh, right that country that has our best interests at heart. The Peoples Republic of China. Oh, and Inspectors General? The 1600 Crew hasn't met one yet they can't fire when they come up with some unpleasant information...ask Bunnatine Greenhouse how that process works.
Three major polls released today showed large segments of the public opposing key items on the president's agenda.
In a New York Times/CBS News poll, more than 60% of those surveyed said they did not share Bush's priorities, roughly 10 percentage points higher than when he was reelected in November. About 50% approved of the war on terrorism. More than 6 in 10 expressed unease about the president's ability to make right decisions on Iraq, and just 1 in 3 approved his handling of the economy. Overall, 41% approved of Bush's job performance.
Our Beloved Preznit, he doesn't govern by polls, he's a manly man, an Action Jackson Cowboy with his nose to the grindstone and shoulder to the wheel. Because failing up is haaaard work.

Do yourself a favor and ignore Bush. My television will be OFF tonight. The best thing we can do is ignore the entire Republican party into irrelevance. Shun them, spurn them, ridicule them, dissociate yourself from them. We can't afford these people in this country any longer.
