One Salient Oversight: Heckuva Bubble for Bush
US Presidents are often tagged with lines uttered in public that go down in history as expressions of their incompetence or political failures. With Bush Sr, it was “Read my lips, no new taxes” spoken clearly and concisely some months before he raised taxes. With Clinton, it was “It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is” as he testified lamely before the Grand Jury.George W. Bush certainly has a bit of time left to come up with similar gems. At the moment, however, one of his more popular phrases is “Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job”, as he assessed the work done by FEMA director Michael D. Brown in helping the people of New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina. Given the obvious incompetence of FEMA at the time, and the reports of suffering going on in the Superdome and other places, this phrase is now used quite ironically by Bush opponents to ridicule and criticise him - “You're doing a heckuva job (insert name of incompetent Bush-appointed offical)”.
