Bush Visits Gulf Coast for Progress Update

CHALLENGES: President Bush made a 10th trip to the Gulf Coast since it was hit by Hurricane Katrina, focusing on problems in restoring New Orleans' levees, removing debris and getting displaced people into housing.

WORK TO DO: The trip was Bush's first to the region since two reports were issued criticizing the government's Katrina response.

EYE OPENER: From an air tour, Bush saw bright blue tarps covering damaged roofs on homes and trash scattered over the swamp and marsh land.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Even though I am against censorship in any way shape, or form, I must say that when a person is in a position of, like a teacher, he does need to refrain form using certain analogies, like the comparison of the commander and chief. I am not a fan of the president, and never have been, but since a teacher is there to teach, his opinions need to be chosen wisely.

Laying off or terminating is too extreme, maybe slapping him on the wrists would have been more appropriate.
