Has this been the longest period between an election and inauguration ever? Maybe it the spectacle of W trying to argue that he was a great president. When I read the headline, Bush 41 got choked up when describing his son's legacy, choked up is right, we are all choking on his presidency. But that is not what he meant. Apparently, he went on to say, That no president has been so tested... Now, that is completely absurd. Uhh, WW I, WW II, uhhh the Civil War, just to name a few events were rather significant tests. Maybe he was the president when tested, found most lacking. Hearing W trying to defend his response to Katrina, saying that if he had gone to New Orleans, it would have taken troops away from rescuing 10,000 people from rooftops. First, 10,000 people were not rescued from rooftops, and who was suggesting that he go there? No one, what people wanted was for HELP to go to New Orleans, not him. The spectacle of the people of a major city in the US hungry, thirsty, desperate, miserable, etc. while the government did little or nothing was shocking. Some how TV reporters and there crews made it to NO, why couldn't government help? Oh that's right, Republicans don't beleive in government.
