Kanye West has too much attitude. I don’t disagree with his point of view, but the way he delivers his messages is a turn-off and distracts from what he’s trying to get across. I’ll vote for B, cuz Martha and Lil Kim is a pretty good image. Hee hee!
To Sarah:
I agree whole-heartedly that Mr. West is patriotic, and I agree that we should call out a president when he is being inefficient. That is not the case here. He is simply the easiest person to single out, because he is on the top of the chain. It is tantamount to blaming the quarterback of a football team for a loss when the defense gives up 50 points. Bush is not a good president, but the inefficiency of FEMA in an unprecedented disaster is not one of his shortcomings. This country as a whole was not prepared for what happened in the Gulf region and most specifically, the local goverments in that region were not prepared. I have no problem with Kanye West saying what he said. I just don’t agree with it. As “It is unpatriotic not to tell the truth,” the truth the way I see it is that some people in this country are so busy pointing fingers that they are forgetting to lend a hand.
Brandon, please correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t George Bush nominate Michael Brown for his position at FEMA? Even though he had little to no experience in the realm of “Homeland Security”? In fact, his resume has been under scrutiny for some time, as it seems to contain several inaccuracies and embellishments.
Maybe Brown and Bush were just drinking buddies at one time, I dunno.
I might be more inclined to agree with you if there weren’t so many photos of Bush on vacation at his ranch, holding a cake with John McCain or playing guitar with some guy, taken at the same time that people on the Gulf Coast were wading through waist-high water holding babies above their heads, or dying on the sidewalks from the heat and lack of water. There has to be some sort of accountablity there.
