Our president is too much of a boor to thank the many countries who have offered assistance. Even countries which the Boor-in-Chief has dissed during the nearly five years he's been in office offered help -- and he's turned every one of them down. Instead of generosity, this mean, petty little man sees it as showing him up.
So I, as an American citizen, would like to take this opportunity to thank Australia, Austria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Belgium, Canada, China, Columbia, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Greece, Guyana, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Philippines, Portugal, South Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela for your kind and generous offers of assistance.
And I'm sorry about the asshole in the White House. I didn't vote for him, I'm not one of his cronies, I'm not part of either his "have-more" base nor his Christofascist base, and he doesn't give a shit what I think.
