Idiot Winds

"Citizens drowned in their attics. Desperate mothers crying out on national TV for food and water. A breakdown of law and order. And a government, at all levels, that fell short of its responsibilities," the president said. "When the rain stopped ... our TV screens showed faces worn down by poverty and despair. And for most of you, the storms were only the beginning of our difficulties."

Note the phrasing on that last sentence, if you will, "...our difficulties." Yeah, George; difficulties to the tune of 31%, but alas, it's still a heck of a job, bad jobs aside. But of course, you don't have all that much to worry about, being an independently wealthy incumbent without concern of due recourse from the American populous, short of a revolution (not likely, even considering the general ill will generated against this administration).

I really do have to note here though, that he was spot on about the beginning of said difficulties, but it's curious that he didn't mention an end to them. Where's 'Mission Accomplished' when you need it? Hell, did he even mention in detail what his plans were to fix them, or even at all?

And on the note of radical weather, I just saw "An Inconvenient Truth" for the first time tonight. See it.
