With all due respect, I always thought that the “botched” Katrina response was overhyped. Much of what went wrong was the responsibility of LA state authorities and out of Bush’s control. A lot of people even blamed him for the levies breaking, which was absurd.

In contrast, Obamacare was Obama’s idea—it was not a natural disaster as Katrina was. But the MSM is still treating him with kid gloves. If Bush had botched something as badly as Obamacare, they would be demanding impeachment.

As explained in the article (even the Bush crowd) use Katrina as “shorthand for bungled policy” - a situation that continues to drip-drip-drip negative press due to systemic blips and events they didn’t address.

Though of course Katrina was not designed by Bush or voted to arrive in New Orleans by the GOP. There are big difference but it’s used to describe how an administration can take a hit and those hits just never stop - and then the perception is carved in stone. But then again the truth that Obama and the Left are liars will be carved in stone.

He has lost the people’s trust.

Agreed. That was a largely made in New Orleans disaster. City government downplayed the danger and was in disarray when the levees began to fail.

The Katrina fiasco was totally the fault of Democrat politicians in NOLA.
