That Truman "Buck Stops Here" sign is going to apply to the current President, and to his party, no matter how well things are handled from here. People will remember the New Orleans fiasco, but even more than that they will remember who is president every time they fill their gas tanks. Bush's space exploration plans may be in as much trouble as his Republican Party. - Ed Kyle |

And enough people will buy that old party line. ![]() Hey, it's worked for decades. People are dumb. As sad and depressed as I am about the destruction and human misery going in New Orleans and so much of the Gulf Coast, the bands of armed thugs taking advantage of the situation leaves me even less hopeful. It's not only embarrassing as an American, it's embarrassing as a human being. George W. Bush isn't responsible for Katrina. I think he's doing the best he can. But he was widely regarded as an ineffective President before 9-11. In the wake of that, as well as early on in the War on Iraq, he had the support of the US people. That's understandable. Even, perhaps, laudable. We all want our nation to be right, and to succeed. Maybe we've just grown accustomed to it over the years. But geez, he refuses to accept the possibility of global warming due to human activity. His energy policies are based on oil (not surprisingly), despite the fact that it's a finite resource, and the new demands being placed on it by China and other developing nations. His answer to terrorism is not to deal with its roots, but to combat it on its own terms. You point out "Hey, it's worked for decades." I hope we have that luxury... Things will have to reach an obvious crisis point before there's a fundamental change. It used to just take a defeat in war, as when Italians strung Mussolini up. I fear the stakes are higher now. As with the Gulf communities, I hope we'll all be able to recover if/when the big one hits. That being said, I think Haller is a complete douchebag for raising this at this time. Plonk. Dale |

In a newsgroup predominantly visited by people from the USA, I would instantly be labeled an anti-American Euro-trash liberal coward if I would give you my honest opinion about your president and his "performance" on said issues... So, I will not. Because I'm really not anti-American ![]() I think that the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will be a watershed event in U.S. politics. In the U.S. right now, just about everyone is mystified, angry, and embarrased at and by their government - or lack of government. It isn't about blaming one political party or the other - both are to blame - but the current president and the current party in power are clearly going to take much of the heat. Lifelong Republicans are especially angry right now about GW's poor performance this week (rather than stand in the rubble, comfort victims, and say something memorable to bolster confidence, he flew over New Orleans in his jet on his way back to D.C. from vacation). But more important for the long term, I think, will be the deeper questions that will come next. For example, should New Orleanians be surprised that their often corrupt city and state governments let them down so terribly? Should those who have voted to cut federal taxes for decades (an effort supported by Dems and Repubs) be surprised that the U.S. government wasn't up to the task (the hospital ship will arrive *next Friday*)? Should those who have participated in the do-nothing partisan name-calling bicker-fest that we have had to endure for years be surprised that their government doesn't remember how to solve real problems in a crunch? The U.S. has been split 50-50 politically for years now. It won't be split 50-50 during the next election. Americans don't like being made fools of by their leaders. Big changes are coming. - Ed Kyle |
