President Bush is getting bashed again for thinking that quiet action is better than loud talk. Unlike his predicessor, Bush seems to think that it's better to spend an hour making sure that the US Navy is sending significant assets to help tsunami victims than it is to call up the Today show and blather about how he feels South Asia's pain. Doesn't he know that it if it doesn't happen on television, it doesn't happen?!?
Of course, the people getting the medicine and food from the Navy helicopters probably don't feel the same way. Their TVs aren't working too well anyway.
If I were flooded out and starving, I'd rather have an American floatilla getting me supplies than have Clinton quivering his upper lip for the cameras while he said he felt my pain.
Go Bush!
