Bottom Line: Do You Feel Safe?

In the event of another natural disaster or a major terrorist attack, do you feel that being a US citizen on US soil will ensure you have the highest possibilty of survival?

I don't. I think Louisiana dropped the ball, but Bush waited for three days after it was clear they couldn't handle it before he started doing his job. A hands-on president like Clinton would not have been able to wait so long.

Bush has gutted Federal agencies and put incompetent cronies in charge. I have no faith that any of them can do the job they were appointed to do.

Bush is unaware of the difference between wishes and reality. He says we have the resources to fight the war in Iraq and to provide adequate protection at home, but he doesn't realize that though we may HAVE those resources, they are not deployed.

In short, Bush is an okay president as long as nothing bad happens. But every time disaster strikes, and it has struck often during Bush's administration, Bush is slow to react. He's reading "My Pet Goat" instead of making sure the country is defended against terrorist attackers. or he's playing golf and politicking instead of making sure the Federal government is able to provide back up support when local government has failed.

Bush was first elected during a peaceful time when it didn't seem to matter whether the president was completely competent or not, and that is the kind of president he remains. With Bush in charge, America is only safe as long as nothing bad happens.
