Where were YOU on the morning of August 29, 2005?

From the Minneapolis StarTribune:

"Republican John McCain took stock of still-hurricane-damaged areas of New Orleans on Thursday and declared that if the disaster had happened on his watch, he would have immediately landed at the nearest Air Force base, drawing a sharp contrast to President Bush's handling of the tragedy.

He called the response to Hurricane Katrina "a perfect storm" of mismanagement by federal, state and local governments.

"Never again, never again will a disaster of this nature be handled in the disgraceful way it was handled," McCain declared, a pledged he repeated over and over during the day."

President George W. Bush joins Arizona Senator John McCain in a small celebration of McCain's 69th birthday Monday, Aug. 29, 2005, after the President's arrival at Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix.

That's right. He would immediately land at the nearest air force base... Unless the catastrophe happens to fall on his birthday - at which point you will just have to tread water for at least another 24 hours while the candles are blown out. Matters of the State are sometimes just too complicated for the small minds of the common folk.

LOL I leave it there .. what else can you say! Politicians are "full of it", always were and always will be. They say whatever you may want to hear.
