I'm not sure if it changed things for me as much as it confirmed things I'd long suspected---like this whole administration is rotten and corrupt and doesn't give a damn about the American people, especially poor American people in the South with dark skin! When I read in Newsweek that Bush didn't see anything on TV and one of his aides had to burn him a DVD of the coverage so he could watch it on THURSDAY I was so mad I just wanted to scream. No, he didn't make the storm happen, but any ordinary person in his/her right mind, and in that kind of a leadership position, would have no business being so out of touch with reality---to freakin' brag about never reading a newspaper and watching nothing but ESPN on TV.
I have no confidence in my government now. I feel like if the terrorists come back, we're just screwed. Would Georgie even know or care if the terrorists blew up Spartanburg? Or does it have to be a big city in the NE to get his attention?
As someone said earlier, there needs to be an ass-whoppin in the next election. And I'll agree that it needs to be on many levels.
(And personally, not knowing the level of suffering a major American city is going through, and not confronting it for 3-4 days, is---in my mind---a 'higher crime and misdeamour' than someone trying to weasel out of admitting he got serviced in the Oval Office.)
