Bush Hates Children

“One hundred Brentwood kindergartners, many dressed in costumes, were all set to go see "The Wizard of Oz" on Friday when their first-ever field trip was blocked by the nation's 43rd president.
They never got to see the wizard.

President George W. Bush, his Marine One helicopter grounded by fog, brought morning rush hour to a standstill while his motorcade proceeded from West Los Angeles through the San Fernando Valley to Simi Valley for the dedication of the Air Force One Pavilion.

"We had buses all loaded up - but by the time they got to school it was too late," said Julie Fahn, a volunteer mom at Kenter Canyon Elementary in Brentwood, where girls had dressed as Dorothy to see the play performed in Malibu.

"My poor children - they were so disappointed. They're all so sad. They were inconvenienced by a silly motorcade down Sunset (Boulevard)."

Bush's traffic jams - Westside to San Fernando Valley commutes Thursday night took up to three hours when traffic was rerouted because of a presidential fundraiser - added to the lore of a city notorious for its gridlock.

On Friday, police were alerted just before Bush began his commute. With only a few minutes' notice from the U.S. Secret Service, LAPD and city Department of Transportation cops shut down Sunset Boulevard west of the San Diego Freeway from 8:15 a.m. to 10 a.m.

For the children of Kenter Canyon Elementary who had planned to see "The Wizard of Oz" at Pepperdine University, their buses were 90 minutes late. They missed the last performance and will not be given a rain check on $6 tickets.

"All the Kenter Canyon parents, they are not happy with (Bush) right now," said Fahn, 33, whose 5-year-old twin girls had prepared for their field trip for months. "He's not at the top of any list.

"The kids did not see the wizard."

“Let me guess: perpetrated by Karl Rove? No doubt the intent of the administration was to seek out some children about to have fun, then fuel up Air Force One and purposely destroy their fun? I mean after all, they have nothing else to do, right dip5hit?

Check your mail. Crowbar coming your way to help pry your head out of your a55. Keep the crowbar, find a job in construction or something, and quit wasting our time with your stupid nonsense.”

“Another example of the Bush's concern for all things related to money, at the expense of the people.”

“First, I think it is in poor taste to use little children for political gain. Let's face it, #&%!$ happens and school programs get cancelled all the time. My children are often reminded of how unfair life is and that it has many disappointments. It's part of growing up and the learning process.

What pisses me off is that rather than cancel a dedication, he chose to cause this gridlock affecting many people (children and adult), businesses and such. He should have rescheduled or cancelled the dedication. It's not like it was a summit meeting or something.”

“LOL - love the thread title!”

“It's not so much that I believe that they planned to make the little kids suffer... it's more likely they just said "awww #&%!$ the little #&%!$s".”

“I think it is pretty cool that liberals have resorted to blaming the President for the weather.

Hurricanes... fog.... It's Bush's fault.

That is a political platform any idiot can get behind, and they do :-)”

“I doubt they were even aware of a specific instance of screw-overage. Wherever the president goes, disruptions occur. I missed a doctor's appt sitting on the interstate once because of Bush's campaign travels last election.”

“Bush hates mutt too?”

“Everything is Bush's fault, even violin is his fault.”

“Funny how the wingers were all up in arms when Clinton supposedly held up a couple of flights at LAX to get a haircut on Air Force One but consider it no big deal when Bush breaks the hearts of 100 little kids.

I guess hating children is part of the platform.”

“Bush hates mutt too?

Perhaps before I turned 16.”

“Well, yes, let's put a 1st grade class ahead of the security of the most powerful leader in the free world. Bassturd! He must be impeached at ONCE! LOL!”
