Well Mr. Bush, that’s a lot more than white liberals or the professional civil rights industry, including all members of the Congressional Black Caucus and black so-called leaders, will ever say for the damage they’ve caused by pushing 40+ years of bloated and failed social programs, lowered standards, and fear-of-being-called-racist hysteria.
The government has created a dependent class of people who’ve likely never had the desire or the will to help themselves. Liberals are dependent on this same class of people for votes, photo ops, and pandering editorials disguised as news.
Your problem, Mr. Bush, is that you’ve failed to harness the power of a conservative government, squandering precious time and resources. Under your reign, the government has grown to ridiculous proportions, more than Ted Kennedy ever dreamed would be possible. And the war on terror started with a bang, but limps along with a whimper.
For reasons that probably have more to do with blackmail than the economy, you refuse to guard the southern border. I guess you don’t realize or don’t care that radical Muslims also jump that border. Terrorists cells are in our midst, ready to strike.
But that’s spilled milk under the bridge. That you acknowledged what should’ve been done during a devastating natural disaster that wasn’t done will have to do for now. Can’t do it all.
I can only wonder what it would be like to have a real conservative in the White House.

Update: Info Theory: “Bush should resign.”
And you people think I’m harsh?
It is entirely appropriate that he take responsibility for the actions of the federal government which he has under his control — the “buck stops here,” and all that. As for the political fallout, the public holds him largely responsible for the performance of FEMA anyway, so accepting responsibility is not only appropriate, but it makes him look miles taller in contrast to the hapless, pass the buck, “we were waiting for the cavalry to come,†we won’t accept any responsibility local and state officials in Louisiana.
