Un. Fucking. Believable.

You would think with all the bad press, Bush would start to do the right thing. Start to get a weary nation behind him. Start to fight for the people instead of against them. I am usually against a lot of the hyperbole on the left and right, but if this story is legit, Bush truly is an evil man. (Thanks to DailyKos for the heads up).

President Bush issued an executive order Thursday allowing federal contractors rebuilding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to pay below the prevailing wage.

In a notice to Congress, Bush said the hurricane had caused "a national emergency" that permits him to take such action under the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act in ravaged areas of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Why in the world would he do this? The areas hit hardest are also the poorest. At least there's an opportunity to get some decent jobs to these people and get the economy down there back on its feet. You already know Halliburton is going to get a lot of these contracts. That kind of corruption would be way too obvious. I must be missing something. How could this possibly be happening? I am beginning to think impeachment is the only way to stop this onslaught of incompetence and greed.
