The Man
Initially it infuriated me that President Bush would take responsibility for someone elses mess. Especially when the owners of the mess are still pointing shrill accusations at Bush and the Federal Government for a local problem.
Then I realized - Bush is being the man and stepping up. It may not be his fault, it may not have been his responsibility since FEMA is not a first-responder. But someone has to take the reins, take charge and move the efforts forward as pointing fingers right now isn’t helping those in need. Someone has to take charge and be The Man among a bunch of LA juvenile delinquents.
I don’t like it, it sticks in my craw. But it’s probably the right thing to do.
