Some Christian

Bush claims he is a Christian. Given his (lack of) response to the Indian Ocean disaster it strikes me as being consistent with my theory that he is a Christian only in campaigns. His religiosity is only for show. Only after being shamed into a response to the crisis does he give one. And the amount of financial aid is a joke compared to what we dole out for the self-made disaster in Iraq. Further, we tragically lost 3000 people on our 9-11 which pales in comparison to the numbers in Southeast Asia may surpass 100,000. It is now being called the largest relief effort in the world's history. Yet this idiot can't leave vacation to be a real leader (but Shroeder DID). Bill Clinton seemed to be able to play the statesman when our fool-in-chief could not and cannot. Bush is a vapid political opportunist. I guess that what Americans wanted. Embarrassing.
