Vacation is Over... an open letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush

Friday, September 2nd, 2005

Dear Mr. Bush:

Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?

Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!

I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?

And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!

On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.

There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.

No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!

You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.

Yours,

Michael Moore

Heads will Fall after this Disaster.

It's just a matter of time.

Sorry Souljah, but someone beat you to this a couple of days ago.

And I dunno, but I think you'll get heat for copy/pasting the entire thing.

Geeze this whole situation is getting pretty heated.

heads will roll i wish, most likely all those that moved so slowly or took no action will be promoted. is it true that the president refused help from a lot of countries??

SERIOUSLY.

You are not that stupid not to know that those who are still useful in polictics ARE not going to have their heads chopped off right?

Whats with all these rage? Calm yourself down a bit and see whats going to happen next and pray for the victims. Thats kinda like the only things we could do, right now.

something to lighten your spirits

Yes, to stand by and pray huh? But which GOD should we pray to? Christianism Juses or Islamism Allah? Well. Afghanistani said HE was the latter who took revenge on Americans. But I don't think so, for GOD is reason free from killing and paying back. I haven't met HE himself but I do have seen him on the screen and now he is waiting in heaven for you Americans to do something to remedy yourselves and rescue yourselves from the very fothcoming danger! To reform the gov.. To change those who are not conscienous and impotent. To purify the bureaue. To execute those who have committed terrible crime(raping, shoting and robing) when people were under suffering. That's what GOD is expecting from you MAN AND WOMEN I don't know. That's what we can do at least to comfort those souls who are now in heaven. Let the evil suffer but not those virtuous. DON'T STANDBY AND DO NOTHING BUT TAKE ACTION to make a different.

Ha ha ha!!! Well? Sounds like Moore is at it again. He speaks the truth and some dont like to hear it.

I would like to say it is another 911 directed by GOD. And in that case I won't bother if you call me Moore. Is Moore someone Americans always laughed at ? Anyway your words are partly true. But still I see nothing funny about this. So draw back your smile and try to be serious about this please.

Souljah, do you ever use the search or just dont care?

Michael Moore doesnt speak the truth....he is bought and paid for by General Electric. He is what you call the one that makes the masses think someone is speaking for them. Now at first he may have been for the people and standing up against corruption but now he is exactly what i said:the one that makes the masses think someone is speaking for them.

I don't know about bought and paid for by GE, but he "missed" alot of facts and figures about 9/11 and the US gov't in his movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" and his book "Dude, where's my country?"
Seems to me that he white-washed the truth.

Anyhow, I have to say I agree with the stuff he's hinting on in his letter to Dubya. However Dubya is just a puppet.

This guy's so full of hot air he could be used as a rescue balloon. Anyone who buys his crap is an idiot for more reasons than they can know. (Basically he's a harmless pressure-relief valve for the masses.)
