So President Bush is "insensitive" when he did not publicly address the disaster in Indonesia right away. The question is who was he being insensitive to? The victim who is without food, water or electricity and would not know if the President spoke as he has no radio or TV? The President was working right away to get relief to these people, so he was not insensitive to their needs. No, the people he was insensitive to was the press.

There they are down in Crawford TX, with nothing going on and time on their hands when what could be the story of the year breaks. Their colleagues are all over the story, but as they are on the President's beat they can't participate until the President comes out and says something. How utterly insensitive to their needs he is. Even Clinton came out and gave the guys covering him something to use. Since he wouldn't give them a story, the story became that he wouldn't give them a story.

I guess after 8 years of covering Clinton and now 4 years of Bush, they are still not capable of recognizing that there is a difference between talking about what you are going to do and actually doing it. The first is just words, the second is what actually gets help to those who need it.
