Question Of the Day:Politics As Usual Or Just Doing The Right Thing?

As we all know and can agree, the President's initial response to Katrina was dismal at best. Net results one natural disaster = one more Bush created catastrophe. Personally I just chalked it up to a continuation of his contagious corruptive ineptitude. However along comes Rita and we are now hearing rumors of Disaster politics. I for one had to reevaluate my thinking and what we were told about katrina's response. My conclusion is that Bush is once again playing Politics even when faced with a homeland natural disaster. This is really unbelievable and unconscienable. We were told after Katrina's disastrous response that troops and supplies could not be set up in advance. The excuse we all heard was that we couldn't put them in harms way. This didn't make any sense but we took that. Now we are hearing that troops and supplies have already been prepositioned in preparation for Rita hitting Texas. This is unquestionably the right response. I like all of you have to wonder if the authorities realize that this is obvious and exactly the opposite of what they said and did in Louisiana? We know from past experience that Bush has no problem saying and doing the wrong thing displaying it and without blinking an eye never miss a beat. Is this proper reaction to Rita because this is his State now? He doesn't have a problem with the obvious redundancies here. This is standard for him but it really bothers most of us. You like to think that after Katrina we have simply learned the hard way. So we are simply acting accordingly. In light of Bush's past performance you know doing something because it is the right thing to do is not one of his concerns. As we all know, he does nothing except for Political gain and he does a lousy job trying to deny and hide it. What are his motivations?
