The Guitar And The Goat

This past Tuesday, while people in Louisiana and Mississippi struggled just to stay alive, waiting for food, water, and help of any kind that wasn't even yet on the way, what was president George W. Bush doing?

He was playing guitar. In Colorado. [SOURCE].

Yes, his guitar has a presidential seal on it. How cute. I wonder if he calls it Guitar One? I call it a fucking disgrace.

I want to be shocked by the president's misplaced priorities, but how can I be? After all, this is the same president who was A.W.O.L. on the morning of September 11th, 2001. It's the same George W. Bush who sat and read the story "My Pet Goat" with a classroom full of kids even after his aides informed him that the United States Of America was under attack.

Somehow, he got away with it. He claimed to be setting an example of calmness... and the ignorant masses bought it.

Here we are, four years later. Catastrophe strikes America again. But... what's this? "George? Anybody seen George? Helloooooo....?"

When his country needed him the most, where was the president?

Here's where he was.

...Playing guitar.
...Sharing cake.
...Hanging out at his ranch in Crawford.

Come on people! Don't fall for it twice. After all... what's that thing they say in Texas?

"Fool me once, shame on.... shame on you. Ya fool me, can't get fooled again."

- George W. Bush

There's a damn good reason why food, water, and military support is only now just beginning to arrive in New Orleans - four days after Hurricane Katrina struck.

The reason is inept leadership.

In time, we will come to find that thousands of people lost their lives because help didn't arrive in time. The question is: will the majority of the American people fall for excuses again?
