Wow. I post pretty often. Good for me.
Anyway, so yeah. I get the bullypulpit. But here's my thing. Mr. President, there are two types of people in this world. Those who like you. And those who don't. Now, those people who like you, well, they (God bless the simpletons) wouldn't hate you if you came up, spat in their faces, and stole their Bibles. The other half, well, you could knock the drug-crazed lushes out of your will, add them instead, and then finish it up by punching Jeb in the ear, and they still wouldn't like you (God bless the progressives).
So here's my thing. Your approval rating sucks. Ass. This Katrina debacle is getting worse and worse, and you decide to use the bullypulpit to tell America how you have a plan. To boost your effing approval rating. Well, this is my take. Katrina happened. You (amongst others, to be fair) dropped the ball. People died because of it. And the only reason you're addressing the nation (from New Orleans, mind you... why don't you bust out your flight suit) is because of your precious little approval rating. Here's an idea... get over your petty little obsession with winning homecoming king and actually attempt to run the country (from somewhere other than Crawford, please). Going on tv now to talk about Katrina is effing arrogant, selfish, insulting to those who lost so much all over the Gulf region and an affront to those who lost their lives. Fuck you and your little popularity contest.
And besides, you're totally interupting my shows.
