Audacity of Truth

""The whole issue of this - of talking points, frankly, throughout this process has been a sideshow. The whole thing defies logic. And the fact that this keeps on getting churned out, frankly, has a lot to do with political motivations."

It’s all about “image”
… to some people, mainly the media. In typical fashion, this AP article implies that the President’s cutting short his vacation in order to return to Washington to monitor the Hurricane Katrina efforts is all about image:
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Bush, who crafted a take-charge image from the Sept. 11 attacks, faces a stiff challenge in responding to Hurricane Katrina.
Cutting short his vacation and marshaling the power of the federal government could help reverse his sliding job approval rating. But the president’s hands-on approach looks a bit too political for some, and makes him an easy target should Katrina’s victims start looking for somebody to blame during the long, costly road to recovery.
In purely political terms, the question is whether Bush can live up to the tough, can-do image he cultivated after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Or whether he falls short of expectations and pays a political price, as his father did after Hurricane Andrew slammed Florida in 1992.
See? His "tough, can-do image" was "cultivated" after the 9-11 attacks. In other words, he either wasn’t a "tough can-doer" prior to the attacks or not much of one. Don’t you feel so much better now knowing that?
Yet another fine example of our ‘impartial’ MSM hard at work, "cultivating" their own image, with a wee bit of, ahem, natural fertilizer, if you catch my meaning.

As if that was not enough, AP now reports this: BREAKING NEWS: Al Qaeda Claims Responsibility For Katrina
Too bad Katrina didn’t make a beeline for the AQ training camps and target them directly instead.
I really hope nobody is stupid enough to believe such an idiotic notion.
I checked the AP. This is bogus.
But if it makes you sleep better believing lies or lying to others…well that’s your perogative.
Be cool, please, GBA – I admit I was fooled by it too but once I visited his website I knew he was being sarcastic.
I doubt that the President does very much in order to “craft his image.” He seems fairly unconcerned about it. If he were concerned about his image, he would have done things like meet with Cindy Sheehan, or leaver even earlier from his vacation…or perhaps not have taken a vacation at all.
Personal, anecdotal accounts about President Bush — the reliable accounts, anway — paint a picture of a guy who governs by his principles, and not by sticking his finger in the air to see which way the political wind is blowing. We recently had a president who did that; he looked good in front of the camera for eight years, but we’re slowly finding out just how asleep at the wheel he really was.
Sorry about the misspellings. I’m gonna do the Leftie thing and blame ST. If she had a preview feature, this wouldn’t have happened!
- I’ve supported GW unflinchingly through all the lying, falicious, manufactured attacks by the left wing, anti- America cadre. But this is one point where I have to in all honesty, call a spade a spade. New Orleans quickly descended into total anarchy, while Bush leaves Crawford a day early, cutting His vacation short, preportedly to deal with Katrina. A Day later, with people dying in the streets, and armed thugs shooting at rescue workers and wandering the city, robbing and looting without control, he gives a speech. The first day I was surprised, the second day deeply troubled by his lack of real leadership and action. Today I no longer see him as a strong decisive leader. He should have declared Marshall law in all three states and immediatly sent in the troops to coordinated and secure the fastest possible evacuation. He and his advisors should have dropped everything and immediately gone into emergency planning and action the very first day. If I can see that, and did three days ago, then whats the matter with him and this administration. Pretty comments at white house gaggles after the damage has been done is not going to cut it. If he pays heavily for this, I can’t say I’m sympethetic. He could have seized the opportunity to show his real leadership and quiet his critics. He did not. I no longer see him as a strong and decisive leader, and that coming from someone who has stood by him in the toughest of times.
Haha on the preview thing, Sloan!:lol:
