I mean how silly can you get?. So GWB is playing the guitar while a natural disaster happens. What did you expect him to do, scoop out water from the Mississippi with his cowboy hat?

Let me explain something to those people who are still confused about what Americans are looking in a president. Not a messiah, not a superhero but someone who will just a) look out for American interests (not foreign interests, not some abstract ideological interests but American interests.) b) look out for American interests c) ...that's it.

The sad thing is that Bush is and always has been vulnerable on this topic. Unfortunately instead of pressing the issue and presenting a more compelling vision of how to serve American interests, the opposition has mostly come up with "nyuck nyuck, Bush is dumb because he can't pronounce nuclear" or "Waah! Bush doesn't care about the stupid utopianism I picked up in college." Neither of which the American voter really cares about.

As far as this hurricane goes all he needs to do is sign a few cheques then he can go back to playing guitar and leave the "caring" to local aid workers who can actually do something to help.
