AWWWW, YEEEAH! You see that Kanye West? Bush DOES care about black people!
What's the emoticon for shaking one's head?
See, this is just sad. Like anything this idiot says means anything at all at this point?
I mean, he says "he understands" but the article Google News linked to (from ABCNews.com, here: http://urltea.com/1cpa) never quotes him as saying what he understands. In this situation saying you understand is like saying nothing at all. I mean, why didn't he just stay in DC and send New Orleans a GIANT get well card?
Here's another Bush quote from the article:
"This town's coming back," he said after visiting with educators and students at the school in the hard-hit Lower Ninth Ward. "This town is better today than it was yesterday and it's going to be better tomorrow than it is today."
Another pithy greeting card-esque statement. THANKS, ASS!
So, after the huge number of things Bush has TOTALLY SCREWED, he "understands."
I'm sure the people of New Orleans are relieved to hear that. Of course, they probably don't understand how Bush's administration can justify spending $1 trillion on killing people on foreign soil, while keeping people alive on New Orleans soil gets only around $115 billion.
I mean, that's what I don't understand.
One other thing from the article is something I noticed on page 2 of it. Check out this paragraph:
In fact, there is some good news here. The city's population is rebounding, and a few neighborhoods thrive. New Orleans has recovered much of its economic base and sales tax revenues are approaching normal. The French Quarter survived Katrina, and the music and restaurant scenes are recovering.
Oh, wow. That sounds pretty positive, doesn't it? "Much" of New Orleans "economic base" has recovered and sales taxes are being collected again!
WOW!
Buuuuuut, check out the very next paragraph in the article:
But much of New Orleans still looks like a wasteland, with businesses shuttered and houses abandoned. Basic services like schools, libraries, public transportation and childcare are at half their original levels and only two-thirds of the region's licensed hospitals are open. Rental properties are in severely short supply, driving rents for those that are available way up. Crime is rampant and police operate out of trailers.
WHOOPS!
OHHHH, WELL! SORRY, NEW ORLEANS! While economic indicators suggest you're rising from the ashes, civil indicators suggest George W. Bush, in fact, does not care about black people.
I think we all understand that.
