Sucks having to pretend to care for the people, doesn't it, W?
"Bush views Ike damage on Gulf Coast; Urges evacuees to use caution; Seeks donations for relief groups" by Deb Riechmann, Associated Press | September 17, 2008
GALVESTON, Texas - In light of the continuing need from Ike and other storms in this year's busy hurricane season, Bush pleaded for donations from the public to relief organizations like the American Red Cross.
"I hope the country does not have disaster fatigue," he said.
No, but we have BUSH FATIGUE!!!!

They are deep in debt, that's why Bush wants you to give.
This isn't BANKS he is bailing out, or war coffers he's filling, folks!!!
Maybe you can help pick up Ms. McGovern's salary, 'murkn.
Many thousands of displaced residents face weeks or months in shelters, and Bush assured them personally and publicly that the federal government would reimburse them for their costs, up to 30 days, of interim housing.
THAT'S IT? Only 30 days?
So BANKS get BAILED OUT, and WAR LOOT keeps flowing, but when it COMES to the PEOPLE, Bush gives you a hearty "FUCK YOU!!"
Some people are STILL LIVING in the KATRINA DEATH TRAPS, asshole!!!!

Federal Emergency Management Agency Director David Paulison, who traveled with Bush, said, "It's not just kind of ad hoc, like it was with Katrina," he said. "If we have to use mobile homes, that will be a state call, we have them available."

Bush's tour of the damage took the place of a fund-raising swing he had planned for the day through Topeka, Kan., and Fort Worth. Laura Bush performed those duties instead.
