Disasters At Hand Ignored By President Bush.

True to form and with a long-standing apathy for Americans in need, our esteemed president has dropped the ball once again when offering help and support for the victims of the California wildfires. A few words of sympathy and a vague promise to help victims was all Bush could muster at an already scheduled speech. Only after presidential aides scrambled to deliver facts and figures did Bush schedule a last minute and hurried trip to California. The disengaged attitude of Bush is reminicent of his poor handling of the Katrina disaster. The desperate cries of Katrina victims were heartbreakingly televised and painfully obvious for every viewer besides the president. Only then did Bush make a hasty trip to the Gulf Coast in order to dispel the impression of detachment and insensitivity. And to make matters worse, Bush was quick to place the blame on the local government.

Perhaps the Bush administration has lost the momentum and drive of a politician who’s running for presidential office. Despite the promises made during his bid for re-election, his “efforts” have fallen short and dissapointing to those he promised to serve. And to this day Bush continues to turn a deaf ear on the victims still in need in New Orleans. Thanks to Bush and his administation, residents are still left helpless in the aftermath of Katrina. The fate of the victims of the California wildfires is still yet to be seen.
