Katrina Survivor Lauds Bush in What Democrats Call PR Stunt

[cal04]

Four more years? Rockey Vaccarella thinks so. President Bush's own staff, though, isn't convinced.

The president played host to Vaccarella, a Hurricane Katrina survivor trailed by a documentary crew, for coffee at the White House yesterday to demonstrate concern for those still afflicted a year after the storm. Vaccarella, it turned out, had another idea in mind as well.


(snip)
Democrats quickly responded with a statement noting that Vaccarella once ran for local office as a Republican and with a report blasting the administration's post-Katrina work.

"In our Gulf Coast, the tens of thousands of Hurricane Katrina survivors are still engaged in an unparalleled struggle to rebuild their lives," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.). "Meanwhile, back in Washington, President Bush is holding a public relations blitz that the survivors of Katrina can ill afford."

1. The arrogance of these bozos to think they won't be found out.

It took a bit, several days for the truth to come out (since he started his trip), but the truth comes out and makes Mr.bushandhisevilminions look like fools again.

2. More Katrina Photo OPS for * nothing new there - that's all he did

during Katrina was pose for pictures. Disgusting.

3. They spend EVERY day covering the truth- He's never out of

campaign mode. He is not running for office anymore-it's time to deal with the problems he created. AWOL on Katrina victims. I't disgraceful how he abandoned the victims.
