You've probably heard the story already: George Bush went on TV days after the Katrina disaster and said "I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees." And now there is video proof that the president was informed that the levees could breach and that he considered the government "fully prepared."
So my question to you: How far does this man have to go until something is done? How many straight-faced lies must he be exposed on?
The problem is that this country doesn't seem to care for long enough. Soon after Katrina, Bush's ratings plummeted. His administration had been exposed as incapable and it looked like people noticed. But time went by and nothing came of it. His ratings rised and Katrina was forgotten.
The thing is, I'm losing faith in this country. There was a time, before I was born, that when a president lied, he would be investigated and forced out if needed. He was accountable. But Bush is not, and this country has let him get away with it, because of 9/11. (Is there any question as to why he always brings it up?)
Even the majority of his party in Congress thinks he went to far in selling the Port administration to the Dubai firms. But will the country care. Is there a breaking point?
