Well, here we go, a guy who claims himself to be a compassionate conservative. I was a big supporter of Bush, but now I am really dissapointed of his lack of sensitivity over the deadly tsunami and earthquake in the South and Southeast Asia. No, no, they love talking about freedom and liberty and prosperity, and democracy and all this BS. I hate politicians, and Bush is one of them.

Huh? What papers are you reading. I think he is very compassionate on this issue. Maybe you believe the B.S. from the UN that we are "stingy".

Take another look.

Just because someone doesn't come right out and utter, "I feel your pain," doesn't make them lack compassion. Clinton was good at making fast statements, but slow on actual response. Bush seems to be getting everything where needed as fast as possible and save the eloquent utterances for later.

Where I come from, actions speak louder than words.

I am really disappointed in joeshero. Someone informed enough to
have posted 278 times to this forum should know better than to fall
for that garbage. Bush is NOT what I consider a typical politician who
runs over other people on his way to the television cameras. Bill
Clinton is the typical politician who uses the tragedy of others for
a photo-op when he is not in a position to do anything about the situation.
(Of course, he could donate from his personal fortune, but the Clintons
do not have a very good history in this regard.) I would remind you
of the famous picture of Clinton at Ron Brown's funeral when the
sight of a camera caused him to instantly change from laughing and
joking to wiping a tear from his eye. To this day, that image remains
in my mind as the perfect picture of a consummate politician.

Behind the scenes, Bush has mobilized all of the resoures that he
could muster during a time when Congress is not in session. I am
sure that he has also been in prayer about the situation. He certainly
does not deserve the criticism that he has received. He and his
family deserve some time together after such a grueling campaign
season, even though as POTUS, he is never really "on vacation".

He is going to make a statement today, but IMO what he has already
done with no fanfare is of much more significance to the victims of
this tragedy than any statement he could make. Bless his heart,
when he does make a statement, it will probably be criticized for
not being perfect.

I just can't get over that someone who frequents this forum could
make a comment like that. I expect that of the NYT or the flunkys
from the UN who gladly take US dollars while they are doing all they
can to undermine its position in the world. Perhaps joeshero could
offer his opinion of Jacques Chirac who has pledged a whopping
$136,000 to the relief effort so far. The US has pledged $35 million,
and, as Colin Powell said yesterday, this figure is just a preliminary
figure that will most likely increase as time goes on.

Don't get me wrong. Joeshero is entitled to his opinion and has
every right to express it in this forum or anywhere else. I have
just learned to expect more from the great people who frequent
this forum.

Where is the aid from Saudi Arabia, France, Iran, etc. The UN is still trying to figure out what is going on or how big a bribe to take before getting their butts in gear. Meanwhile we are flying the supplies in and leading the effort as usual. Insensitive and chintzy? ?(*^%%$$#**&^!!

Hello,

[gmez2001]

Yesterday I wondered when it would be Bushs' fault for the asian tidal wave. This morning on radio, Bush is insensitive opting to stay in Crawford while thousands are dying and suffering in the islands.

I believe, where the tsunami disaster was an "act of God" that compassion is in order. One would be remiss to think he is not feeling any compassion toward those who suffer from this natural disaster.

I believe our President's loyalty and sympathy are prioritized and therefore lie with those Iraqis and Americans who are willingly killed, maimed and blown to friggin smithereens by jihadist "humans"~

which might indeed give someone the impression that he doesn't have a whole lot of compassion to spare.

W "insensitive"? The US "stingy"? How can anyone, including the corrupt old media, know what is going on in the President's heart? Just 'cause he didn't run out in front of cameras like Clinton did everytime something horrible happens and cry out "I feel your pain" Bushhaters ASSUME W. doesn't care. Well, all I can say in reply is Barbra Streisand! As for the so call "stingy" USA, total Barbra Streisand!! The United States and its people is the most generous, compassionate nation on Earth. Think..when is the last time you heard about some poor third world pair of Siamese twins seperated free of charge in a hospital in Red China or Syria or Norway (home of that UN nitwit?). Even above and beyond the billions the USA provides in financial and humanitairan type aid, the US has over the past century, given up the LIVES of its sons and daughters to free millions upon millions of people throughout the world from tyranny and despots. Going back to Norway, what language pray tell would that nitwit be speaking in now if it were not for the hundreds of thousand of US soldier's lives sacrificed in WWII to beat back Nazi Germany? Hhhmmmm?

It is just so typical for the msn and the libs to make Dubya out to be the villian and the US stingy.....well, they are wrong. We are sending more aid and support than any other country and Dubya is more than compassionate. The msm and libs need to stop putting everything on some timetable and making judgements that are not founded. Lack of compassion.....I do not think so.......

[minnie presley]

I am dumfouned after the tragedy in asia, my husband and I both spoke up at the same time and said bet they blame george bush for this, I cannot beleive they are actually doing it, this president has more compassion in his little finger than clinton has in his 6f3 frame, as for the UN I would not trust them with one cent, give it to them and the people who need it will never see it

[Fighter Cat]

President Bush has pledged 35 million so far to the help with the trajedy.
You don' t have to be crying on television to show that you care. Providing the logistical support and financial aid is "faith through works" my friend. It's much better than a lotta talk and no action.

I don't cry about every tragedy but that doesn't mean I don't care and do something about it.

The UN and the Left are still crying about our 2004 election and I think it is time they quit picking on President Bush and the USA and get over their loss.

Where is Michael Moore's millions to help the victims or Mr. Ickles?

I doubt you were a big supporter of Bush. I think you are just trolling this line! By the way I think your man Kerry still had 20 million left from his campaign. If he was smart he would donate that money to the victims or mortage several of his estates!
