One more thing...

One more thing... (because I just realized there was no outrage in that last post, and Outraged definately describes my attitude this weekend)

Things that made me wonder if we are really one country at all anymore :

An ABC poll released on Sunday shows a very unhappy American public when it comes to the response of the government to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. But the story accompanying the poll suggests "far fewer take George W. Bush personally to task for the problems, and public anger about the response is less widespread than some critics would suggest."

In a truly positive development, the poll reveals that hopefulness far outweighs discontent about the slow-starting rescue.

Numbers:

Blame President George W. Bush for the response to Hurricane Katrina?

55% No.

44% Yes.

Forty-six percent of Americans approve of Bush's handling of the crisis, while 47 percent disapprove, and the poll reports that of the 44 percent that do assign him blame, only about half of them, 23 percent overall, blame him "a great deal."

Only 46 percent holds our president accountable? The man who signed off on budget cuts that furthered the disaster's impact, and appointed the incompetent people who ended up in charge of this disaster?

Accountability.

That's all I have to say about that.
