Broken promises

Are a matter of course for Georgie. Promise to help fight AIDS in Africa, help bring the good life to Afghanistan and Iraq, help the poor, help the sick, show some compassion somewhere to somebody.....

Because he's the Compassionator!



That means he actually doesn't have to do anything. Just go around comforting on people....

The New York Times via Karen McL at Peripetia:

"President Bush has reneged on his promises to Katrina’s victims. Shamefully, the president has chosen the interests of bureaucracy over those of American towns on the brink of failure.

Over a year and a half later, there are 64,000 people still sleeping in trailers in Louisiana and far too many communities without schools, hospitals and other basics. These are unacceptable failures. At least part of the problem is a law that requires states to contribute 10 percent of the cost of most federally financed reconstruction projects. Mr. Bush waived that requirement after the Sept. 11 attacks (as his father did after Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki) but he refuses to do so for the Gulf Coast.
...
The State of Louisiana estimates the gap between the devastation there and the federal and private payouts at $34 billion.

Compile Georgie's promises from when he was selected prez. I can't think of one that he fulfilled in any way ... except to Cheney.
