"Just a few feet out of camera range..." Another lying photo-op

the guy is really incredible... does he actually think ANYBODY believes him any more...?

Standing in front of recent construction, cameras that recorded the President's speech did not capture the rows of destroyed houses, the beach that is still empty, or the hotels and motels that remain deserted.

[...]

Just a few feet out of camera range stood gutted houses with wires dangling from interior ceilings. A tattered piece of crime scene tape hung from a tree in the field where Mr. Bush spoke. A toilet seat lay on its side in the grass.

now, THERE'S a quote to define bush's presidency... "just a few feet out of camera range..."
