The distruction of New Orleans and the disclosures of your administrations inept bludering have cost hundres of lives and the loss of a city important to commerce and history.. Your support for government by the wealthy, for the wealthy is killing us, you arrogant ass.

Resignation but also impeachment is long over due. In the constitution it says, "in Order to form a more perfect Union" we shall "promote the general Welfare...and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Mr bush has done neither of these things. Not only has he overlooked the vast majoority of citizens but he has trampled on the constituion. He has taken many gambles: like the war in Iraq, abandoning the UN, not spending money and planning for the hurricane, social security, guantanoma bay, deregulation of industry, some he has gotten away wiht but ultimatley he is gambling away our taxes. despite his religious piety he is a compulsive gambler and i ahve had enough.
This is LONG overdue. There should have been a revolution directly after he stole the first election. If you look up "corrupt" in the dictionary, his picture should be next to it!!
worst men who have served in the office - it's just that they didn't serve during our lifetimes - but then again after reviewing the short list - maybe he is the worst in recorded history!
But then again what can one expect for a hateful little man who choose to use hate and division to win election to the highest office in the land and we the people let him do so because we were fearful of our fellow Americans!
Should we have expected any move them what he has offered to date - I think not - in fact I do believe the country is reaping what it have sowed and it is most distasteful!
The people in this country need to stop thinking about themselves as individuals and begin thinking about the sociality as a whole - America needs to put itŐs house in order! After all, when all is said and done, we the people are all in the same small lifeboat called America!
We all need to look at the bigger picture and ask ourselves if the tables were reversed would we be content?
And finally a good place to start would be too...
1. Repeal the new bankruptcy law!
2. Reinstate the minimum wage in the affected area!
3. Stop talking about a minimum wage and start talking about a living wage!
4. Stop and then Reinstate the bush tax cuts!
5. Require companies who had moved off shore to avoid taxation to again pay there fair share plus fines for their un-American actions!
6. Put this nation back on a pay as you go format!
7. Impeach bush and company
8. After impeachment let bush and company serve time for their white collar crimes!
9. Start to look out for America before looking for glory in wars fought in far off places!
10. Look for the good in people before you look for the worst in people - remember we are our brothers keepers and we haven't been doing a very good job of it for a very long time!

The people of New Orleans are not refugees they are Americans! I am appalled that Americans are being called refugees but why wouldn't they be called refugees when our "President" treated them like people from a third world country? They would have been better off if they were not Americans - they would have gotten aid much quicker since we seem to take care of people from other countries better than we take care of our own! I am ashamed to be part of a country that treats her own the way the people of New Orleans were treated - no food, no water - no hope ...
Laura Bush can defend her husband until the cows come home, but if the people in the Super Dome were in a different financial bracket they wouldn't have waited for days and days without food and water - if they were of a different financial bracket there would have been Navy ships on the way to help them BEFORE the storm struck. Do the right thing - FIRE the people in charge of FEMA - don't spend our money on another Ken Starr investigation - spend it on helping the people of New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama.
The lack of federal response to assist the victims of Hurricane Katrina makes me embarrassed and ashamed to be an American. Thank heavens for all the good people around the country who have come to their aid.
Stupid Is As Stupid Does. Many of us and the rest of the world figured you out a long time ago - now the American people at large are finally catching on and you and your freeper thugs are going down.
I grew up on the gulf coast, and hunkered down during many a hurricane in my childhood. Of course, there were never such dire warnings in place before any of those. There was no warning (well for the general public anyway) before 9/11, but there was plenty of warning before Katrina. WHERE WAS THE NATIONAL GUARD? Oh yeah, invading a foreign country that was not a significant threat to us.
As a travel agent, I have opportunity to see many different countries and cultures, and I was embarassed to be an American when I traveled to Europe last year. My european friends all asked me if I voted for you. Of course I told them "No", but we are being seen as ignorant, fanatical, warmongers to our international neighbors and that is simply unacceptable. Bow out gracefully, and RESIGN NOW>
BRING OUR HEROES HOME, WE NEED THEM HERE TO PROTECT US, NOT IN IRAQ.
Your continued inability to take responsibility for your own actions and the incompetence of your appointees has convinced me that you are a grave danger to the American people and to this country. You cannot lead!
It is time for your resignation. All you are good for is causing mayhem and murder.
I am tired of having an arrogant, murdering , and incompetent running our country.
Being that we are still in the hurrican season and you have made no efforts to improve fema's responce (by calling for Brown and his two assistents to resign), you yourself should resign. It is too late to undo your poor choices of leaders. Have you no shame? resign!
You will not fire Brown, because it will prove that you place politics before national security. You are THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.
Nancy Pelosi yesterday expressed our outrage in a more controlled manner than most of us would. Do you have any idea how absolutely furious the nation is over your inability to govern, and your continually appointing inept idiots and political flunkies to key positions?
If we cannot feel safe in our own homes, then you are not doing your job. You should resign - NOW.
I am saddened when the country I love cares more about impeaching a president over lying about his private sex life than impeaching a president whos lies cost lives. I personally cannot understand how he sleeps at night. However, according to Laura he has no problem because the president of the United States of America goes to bed by 9 every night even when soldiers he sent to Irak are not sleeping in their beds and may very well never again. I love my country and that is why I never voted for a C student to run it.
You are an impressment to democracy and America itself. The fact that you where able to mobilize your administration to over throw an entire country but cant do the same in the relief effort for three states in your own country is a glowing slow of your incompetence.
Perhaps those who should be most impressed are the people in all of those red states who voted for you. My god, what were they thinking? Or were they?
Your decision to place your friends in leaderships positions that require experience and tact have lead to the deaths of thousand of American citizens. Not only are you unable to handle crisis situations you don't seem to use common sense when you make decisions.
The absolute and total absurdity of your administration is unforgivable. Your the worst president in history in my 1st amendment granted opinion. You have allowed more people to die such horrible gruesome deaths than I'm even willing to comprehend with a sane mind. I hope you read my words Mr. "President", along with all the others. I hope they sear into your very being and eat at you to your grave. I spit in your face George. You don't deserve the respect of being called President.
George W. Bush MBA was supposed to be the business-like, competent, efficient CEO of America. Instead he has been a historic corrupt failure. Like a failed and disgraced CEO he should take responsibility and resign NOW before his dangerous incompetence kills more innocent Americans and further bankrupts a once great nation.
This is insane, He's sent our troops to death so he could get oil, and locked our people up in a dome when there desperate for food and water. He's stolen 2 elections, and is sending FBI agents to investigate "non american" people who did nothing but disagree with him. He's violated every single statute of the consitituion except for womens rights to vote.
Hey Josh,
You tell me how you justify what Bush did or didn't do. He had the power to activate the military right from the begining so why did it take a photo op and 5 days later to get things rolling. Lets see if your brain can process this ant head. Your President would screw you over in a minute either by incompetance or if something was in it for him. Don't be such a follower read up on the man who is your president. The man is dangerous!
Stop passing the buck by excuses like "my people let me down". You have brought disgrace on our country. Did you see the London Times headline: A Nation Humbled! How could you and your administration put us in a position of ridicule by other nations. Bangladesh is sending us aid!!! Hello! Your legacy will be this war, which will go on for 20 years and for the way you puffed up the rich and subjugated the poor of this country. If our troops had not been deployed in a usless war they would have been ready to help the victims of Katrina. Your friend Justice Renquist, who helped to give you the power of the presidency, is gone; follow suite and RESIGN. Our country is long overdue for a real leader not an insincere born-again christan who has delusions of grandeur. You have managed to fool many; not me.
The reality is the petition will not make bush resign! However in 2006 & 2008 we all should vote for GOOD Democrats.
Bush & conservatives speak of tax cuts and less govt. Now this disaster has shown us it's not about LESS govt or Big govt or More govt. It's about govt. that WORKS for the PEOPLE!
Democrats aren't perfect but at least they have a good attitude, they want the govt to HELP make America better. Where con's only goal is to get their taxes down to a minimum and have the govt to the LEAST it can for people!

Lieutenant Commander Sean Kelly of the US Northern Command in Colorado (where the "relief effort" is being coordinated) speaking on BBC World News this morning:
"NorthCom started planning before the storm even hit. We were ready for the storm when it hit Florida because, as you remember, it crossed the bottom part of Florida, and then we were planning, you know, once it was pointed towards the Gulf Coast. So what we did was we activated what we call defense coordinating officers to work with the state to say okay, what do you think you'll need, and we set up staging bases that could be started. We had the USS Baton sailing almost behind the hurricane so that after the hurricane made landfall its search and rescue helicopters would be available almost immediately. So we had things ready. The only caveat is, we have to wait until the President authorizes us to do so. The laws of the United States say that the military can't just act in this fashion, we have to wait for the President to give us permission."
-------------------
You could not resist packing FEMA with the people that you scraped off your rump, could you? Well, I don't just think that you should resign. I think that WE THE PEOPLE the same ones you consider not YOUR EQUALS should treat you to some all expense-paid trips accompanied by America's finest from New Orleans and Bagdad. First, a stimulating and invigorating "barbecue" at the well-appointed sauna of Abu Ghraiv prison. We will treat you to the latest in brain stimulation with electrodes designed to perk up those laggard neurons with a jolt strategically administered to master endorphin production areas. Next, you have a fun-filled vacation on oceanfront New Orleans...ta ta and don't forget to write.
The Bush Administration is accountable for the disgraceful lack of response to Hurricane Katrina. In the five years that Bush has been in office, the poor have gotten demonstrably poorer and we are less prepared for catastrophes than we were before 9/11. It should be obvious to everyone now that if disaster strikes, you're on your own -- especially if you're poor. The Administration can't be bothered to come back from vacation and suspend shoe shopping long enough to even see whether the reports in the media about thousands of people dying without food and water (in the richest nation in the world!) are true.
If the Bush Administration pursues the tactic of trying to blame the beleaguered state and local governments of the Gulf Coast for this tragedy, I can only hope that the people of the United States will finally stand up against this elitist, uncaring, and clueless Administration, a regime that is systematically destroying the lives of many who voted the incompetents into office.
When is America going to wake up and throw these bums out?
