Silence speaks a thousand words
And some of those words are "if you aren't like me or you can't further my political agenda, I just don't give a damn!"
When Karla Faye Tucker was set to be executed, Bush spent 30 minutes going over her case and could only muster a chuckle when he refused to stay her execution.
When the tsunami happened, it took Bush over a week to finally come out of the good ol' Crawford ranch and tell the world how sorry he was that a bunch of heathens died because God hates everyone who isn't a Christian so many innocent people died. And, oh, there is $3 to make you feel better.
When a woman who has been brain dead for years might actually finally be allowed die, Bush cut short his vacation, flew to DC, shit on the Judiciary process and couldn't stop flapping his yap, all in the name of the life of a Christian white woman.
When nine Native Americans were gunned down in Minnesota, before a young man took his own life, Bush had absolutely nothing to say. In fact, he still hasn't said anything days later. It only took Clinton a few hours to respond to Columbine.
Native Americans Criticize Bush's Silence
Response to School Shooting Is Contrasted With President's Intervention in Schiavo Case
Native Americans across the country -- including tribal leaders, academics and rank-and-file tribe members -- voiced anger and frustration Thursday that President Bush has responded to the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history with silence.
Three days after 16-year-old Jeff Weise killed nine members of his Red Lake tribe before taking his own life, grief-stricken American Indians complained that the White House has offered little in the way of sympathy for the tribe situated in the uppermost region of Minnesota.
"From all over the world we are getting letters of condolence, the Red Cross has come, but the so-called Great White Father in Washington hasn't said or done a thing," said Clyde Bellecourt, a Chippewa Indian who is the founder and national director of the American Indian Movement here. "When people's children are murdered and others are in the hospital hanging on to life, he should be the first one to offer his condolences. . . . If this was a white community, I don't think he'd have any problem doing that."
