She shouldn't need to.  Bush should know she needs the troops and offer them without being asked.

If im not mistaken, it is the governors duty to request the national guard. A Governor is the ONLY person who can use the national guard in a situation like this. You shouldnt need someone to hold your hand in a situation like this, thats why she was elected after all right? Not trying to defend Bush because i do think he was some 24 hours late in his response to the disaster, but when do we start holding the other members of government that we elect liable for their shortcomings? She should of had the National Guard in there 2 days before the thing even happened, getting people out and holding order. Besides the fact we wouldnt even be discussing this if the MANDATORY evacuation Bush called for 2 days before the flooding happened had been carried out to the fullest extent.

Speaking of Presidential piss breaks.  If you're in the head, he walks in to the urinal next to you.  Do you peek?

Not unless you like to be "taken down" by a half dozen secret service agents in the middle of peeing....

Depends on the sense of urgency.

 

Regular picture

 

Zoomed in.

 

It would suck to have the press capture that little moment, but I can't help but wonder why he chose to frame it as a question - note the question mark.  Is he not sure if he has to pee? 

 

You what they say George, if you have to ask, the answer is no.
