Heck Of A President

...or heck of an rhetorically challenged, completely clueless and incompetent bubble boy.

You pick.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 12 - President Bush made his first trip here in three months on Thursday and declared that New Orleans was "a heck of a place to bring your family" and that it had "some of the greatest food in the world and some wonderful fun."

Mr. Bush spent his brief visit in a meeting with political and business leaders on the edge of the Garden District, the grand neighborhood largely untouched by the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina, and saw little devastation. He did not go into the city's hardest-hit areas or to Jackson Square, where several hundred girls from the Academy of the Sacred Heart staged a protest demanding stronger levees.

[...]


The president ignored questions about the city's new rebuilding plan, introduced Wednesday night to enormous community criticism, and White House officials traveling with Mr. Bush declined to offer opinions. The plan, which depends on nearly $17 billion more from the federal government, gives neighborhoods in low-lying parts of the city from four months to a year to attract sufficient numbers of residents or be bulldozed.

The sincerity and heartfelt compassion just oozes from him, doesn't it?

We know you don't give a shit about the people of New Orleans or the gulf coast, so don't bother George. None of them made your list of Rangers like Jack Abramoff, so they probably aren't worth more than a short visit.

The Photo-op President strikes again. One neverending photo-op and "town hall" meeting, this presidency is.
