Of all the shit under his watch, that's what bugs him the most?!?!? I'm stunned he didn't kill himself over the Rangers losing the WS!!!!! What a piece of shit!

I think the point is, he can take criticism for stuff that may have been true or what he had a hand in, but Kanye basically out and out lied about him on national television and tried to rile up the entire region.

Anybody who has done a little research into Katrina knows that the national response to Katrina was not entirely bush's fault. The blame falls on the former Gov and Mayor of LA and NOLA.

That video still cracks me up. The look on the faces of Mike Myers and Chris Tucker is just priceless.

He didn't lie; he was just inaccurate!!! Bush doesn't care about poor people in general, regardless of color!!! So yeah, he's not a racist; he's an elitist shitbag that fucked up by appointing his completely unqualified buddies to run our national disaster services!!!!

Dude!

Kanye said Bush didn't care about black people, not poor people. Stop going after semantics. Considering that Bush's #3 was a black lesbian, do you already see the problem in calling Bush a racist?

And again: did you think the breakdown with Fema was partially due in part to the fact that there was a massive communications breakdown with local government? It's easy to pin the blame on Brown, but the response was a fuckup of massive scale on EVERY SINGLE LEVEL.

I'm not saying Bush and Brown are completely blame free, but if you do a true study of what happened during Katrina, Ray Nagin and Blanco are definitely no angels.

As I said - a breakdown on EVERY level.

Yes, I already said, it's inaccurate!!! Kayne was incorrect because Bush is not racist; he's indifferent towards the poor of all creeds and colors! Did you miss my last post? Bush doesn't give a fuck about most of the American population!!!!

No shit, sherlock, but when things go tits up on that scale the buck stops at the top!!!!! FEMA is supposed to exist to be able to step in as the last line when local support is unable to do the job for whatever reason!!!!

A Bush quote about Katrina:

“We got a lot of rebuilding to do…. the good news is and it’s hard for some to see it now but out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic gulf coast… out of the rubbles of Trent Lott’s house — the guy lost his entire house — there’s going to be fantastic house. I look forward to sitting on the porch."

He's dumb. Ok maybe he doesn't outright hate black people, but his sheltered life has led him to be completely unable to understand that people face hardships greater than his and his friends.

Exactly!!! I don't think he's hateful or racist; he's just a spoiled rich kid with a really unique political upbringing (relatively speaking) who has absolutely zero clue as to how most of the country lives!!!

By stating this, it seems that you associate black people with being poor. If you didn't, you would see the difference between saying something about black people and saying something about a financial class as two different things.

Not a weird thing. Just read your statements from an objective point of view.

You should tell that to africa. when I was in Kenya last year his picture was all over the place (Obama's too) When I asked our guide why Bush he said "he's a great man." Apparently while he wasn't doing shit here he was really active in Africa.

Which is one of the tragedies of his presidency: he'll never get the credit for expanding the engagement with Africa that was begun under Clinton because it was so overshadowed by so many other fuckups.

No President gives a shit about poor people.....Being President you are accepting of criticism all the time but having someone that garners alot of attention (Kayne) state that Bush was a racist was unacceptable - and most everybody knew Kayne was bat shit for saying it. Hurt Bush on a presonal level - interesting.

An interesting take in todays' Washington Post on what may explain Bush's "lowest moment" comment: (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/03/AR2010110305993.html?hpid=topnews)

Yet, as Vanderbilt historian Gary Gerstle has found, Bush was personally invested in compassionate conservatism. While growing up in Texas and later serving as governor, Bush constantly befriended and worked with members of his state's Hispanic community and fought for the rights of immigrants. "Once children are in Texas," he said in 1995, "Texans know it is in our best interest and their interest to educate them, regardless of the nationality of their parents." In his gubernatorial reelection victory in 1998, Bush won 49 percent of the Hispanic vote and 27 percent of the African American vote - a strong showing for a Republican in Texas. (It is unsurprising that, in his memoir, Bush reportedly describes the accusations of racism he experienced in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina as "the worst moment of my presidency.")
