A pediatrician gives up on the Gulf...

[alfreda89]

Here it is, almost two years after Katrina, and what has the Bush administration done to fulfill its promise that things will be fixed, the area's infrastructure revitalized? Pretty much nothin'.

One doctor who stayed and tried hard to make a difference finally realized that help wasn't coming, and he had a wife and three small children to offer a real future. He had a place he could go, and he left. His house in his former city was the only one to sell in the past six months.

It is a sadder man who will continue to blog, but from Florida, where there isn't constant tearing up of the streets, the foundation slabs, the very toxic dirt on the ground -- where he can try to find a fragment of normality.

Bush hasn't even done the little that was done for 9/11 or Andrew to lift some of the rebuilding off the coast. Be warned. He won't be there for you, either.

Yep...

Pretty depressing.... The government is willing to spend Billions a day on a war that is not giving us much. Could you tell us if it is beneficial. I am not totally anti-war, but I am anti-wasting-money. What could we have done with the 600B or 1T on the war?

-20-30% of the power of the US could be wind.
-Protected all the unprotected old-growth in the US.
-Get more people medically insured.
-Rebuild NO.
-Improve education.
-Improve infrastructure

It is sad to see it wasted. What has it given us? Is it worth the price that we have paid. It has been expensive.... *Sigh*

It has given us grounds to impeach a Vice-President, just for starters. Then we go after the President.

Such a tragic waste of lives and money.

Both Katrina and the war...

My new bumper sticker....

"Ignore Bush"

I don't think that they will impeach him. I can only hope that he is so minimalized by both his party and his own actions that his only ability will be in effect to be an embarrassment.

I count the days until the next election and pray for a good candidate.

The man is an ass. And just damned embarrassing to have around.

Sheesh,

David

I don't know if I can ignore him -- I can't even buy a joke countdown calendar marking the days until he's gone. He changed the SCOTUS in a fashion that will impact us for a generation.

And he could care less what we think -- God put him there, and he has the confidence of the serene man who does not think for himself, and therefore cannot be swayed by evidence contrary to his template.

Yes -- he's so embarrassing I hesitate to plan a trip out of the country until he's gone.

Maybe Cheney will resign because of medical reasons. I'd feel marginally better if he was no longer in the line of succession. Or if a couple dozen more people will sign on to impeach him....
