to rebuild New Orleans? Bush covered his FEMA failure last September. Nothing ever came of it. He later wimped out. Today Bush reversed his whole political life’s work and spoke for some modest changes in the huge giveaways to the oil companies. We can expect little to be actually done. And he urged us to let the oil companies drill in Alaska and anywhere else they want.

So - if the oil companies gouge us and act against the best interests of our country and economy then we reward them with free access to wreck our environment even more. That is Bush’s solution. We liberals just wonder how many educated conservatives will still swallow this latest speech and think he actually means any of it. Hell, he’s just worried about losing a majority in Congress this fall.
