Reply #5: tsunami example [View All]

The tsunami was an example of something that got in the news cycle that they didn't start, and Bush's initial (and arguably current) response made him look like he didn't give a shit about brown people unless they're oil sheiks or on the board of an energy or defense corporation.

On a smaller scale, we saw this last year when in his state of the union address Bush said key provisions of the patriot act were set to expire, and dems applauded before he could say "which is why it needs to be renewed." Bush glared and shut up for a few seconds. He himself is especially poor at thinking on his feet.

If he makes it as far as the State of the Union this year, they need to do that if he mentions privatizing social security.
