Oh yeah – both Obama and Biden were either co-sponsors of, voted for or drafted Katrina relief or oversight bills. Biden was the sponsor of Senate amendment 1661, which was to provide emergency funding to victims of Katrina. The vote failed 41-56, with McCain voting against it.

As Geiger notes:

Biden’s legislation would have provided many things including money to purchase interoperable communications equipment to help first-responders dealing with the disaster, $10 million “to find, unite, and transport children impacted by Hurricane Katrina to their parents, legal guardian, or next of kin” and funding to assist victims of domestic violence in affected areas.[...]

“The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has reported that over 1,000 children have been displaced by this storm — that means they are not with their parents or guardians — and in this amendment we provide $10 million for that effort,” Biden continued. “We also provide $9 million to support domestic violence victims impacted by the storms. We all heard of the reports of sexual assaults in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and we will support those victims who have not been moved to new shelters.”

McCain also voted against not one, not two but three other Democratic-introduced Senate amendments that would have brought much needed relief to Hurricane victims.

And yes, he voted against a bipartisan oversight commission to study the failings and recommend corrective measures to ensure that the next time will be better. Basically that means he didn’t want anyone getting together and realizing that the government screwed up BIG TIME.

Let’s keep reminding America how much McCain really cares about putting country first.

Once president, however, Bush agreed to raise several taxes as part of a 1990 budget agreement. This has been attributed to a declining economy, ballooning budget deficits, and the need to compromise with the Democrat-controlled Congress. This reversal caused great controversy, especially in the more conservative wing of the Republican Party.

In the 1992 presidential election campaign, Pat Buchanan made extensive use of the phrase in his surprising challenge to Bush in the Republican primaries. In the election itself, Bill Clinton also pointed to the quote as evidence of Bush’s perfidy, contributing to Bush losing his bid for reelection.

A group of soldiers in the crowd was electronically copied to fill in the space where the president and the podium had been, aides say.

“There was no need to do that,” said Mark McKinnon, head of Bush’s advertising team who shouldered the blame. “Everyone technically works for me so I accept the responsibility.”

The original photograph shows a sea of soldiers sitting behind the president as he stands at a podium just left of the center of the frame. Bush was speaking at Fort Drum in New York on July 19, 2002.

Democrats said it is fitting that Bush would fabricate an advertising image.

The cable company, iN DEMAND, said it based its decision to drop the program on “legitimate business and legal concerns.”

The US$9.95, 3 hour pay-per-view special was to include interviews with celebrities with strong political opinions, as well as Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

The special was to air on the eve of the US presidential election.

Moore told the press he signed a contract with iN DEMAND early last month and is considering legal action.

“Apparently people have put pressure on them and they’ve broken a contract,” the Associated Press quoted Moore as saying.

“There’s been one struggle or another over this, but we’ve always come out on top because you can’t tell Americans they can’t watch this.”

The film, Fahrenheit 9/11 has just been released on DVD.

iN DEMAND reaches about 28 million households across the US.

Little Tommy, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to the stranger, “What would you like to discuss?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” said the stranger. “How about politics? Should we keep Bush or elect Kerry?”

OK,” said Little Tommy. “That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat grass. The same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?”

Jeez,” said the stranger. “I have no idea.”

Well, then,” said Little Tommy, “How is it that you feel qualified to discuss who should run the country when you don’t know shit?

The development comes in a campaign in which charges continue to fly about the authenticity of Bush’s time in the Guard and Sen. John Kerry’s Web site listing of medals and naval service.

On “60 Minutes II” on Wednesday night, CBS’ Dan Rather introduced four documents he claimed were written by Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, 1st Lt. George W. Bush’s superior, establishing that Bush failed to meet the standards required by the Texas Air National Guard in the early 1970s.

These appeared to support charges by Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe and Kerry that Bush had been “AWOL” and had failed to meet his Guard commitments.

The documents were presented by CBS as coming from Killian’s secret personal files. In them, Killian appears to complain that he was being pressured by his superior officers to “sugarcoat” Bush’s substandard performance in his official records and described how Bush had asked him “how he could get out of coming to drill,” among other things.

Forgery experts take a look

The morning after the “60 Minutes II” airing, the Internet was buzzing with claims that the documents were forged.

Powerlineblog first aired speculation that there was persuasive evidence from the typefaces and spacing that the documents supposedly prepared in the age of typewriters in the early 1970s showed the unmistakable characteristics of computer printing.

Another blogger, Bill Ardolino at INDC Journal, who had read Powerline, said, “I decided to find a top typeface expert and ran his analysis on my Web site.”

Ardolino’s expert, Philip D. Bouffard, is a nationally recognized forensic authority in typewriter and electronic typefaces.

Bouffard has the largest collection of full letter impact typewriter specimens in a private collection today. Having worked at NCR and a forensic laboratory for more than 30 years, Bouffard still works with entities such as the State of Ohio on Medicare fraud cases.

Bouffard said the CBS documents appear to have been copied about 10 times in the state he saw them. Nevertheless, he states, “All the documents have been created on the same printer. And the proportional spacing and the common characteristics of numbers like 4 and 7 and letters like lower case c and upper case G are beyond the capabilities of any of the typewriter impact specimens I have in my collection. The centering of headings is also beyond the capabilities of any typewriter I know of.”

His conclusion: “It is remotely possible there is some typewriter that has the capability to do all this … but it is more likely these documents were generated in the common Times New Roman font and printed out on a computer printer that did not exist at the time they were supposedly created.”

Bouffard is a registered Democrat planning to vote for Kerry.

In a related story, the Associated Press has reported that the son of Killian, Gary Killian, has questioned the authenticity of the documents as well and said they didn’t come from his family.

CBS says it stands by its story and claims that the handwriting and document experts it consulted believe the documents are genuine.
