The media turned Katrina into a dirty word for Bushpublicans. Nothing - not any of these scandals - are Obamas Katrina until the media says it is and they ain’t saying so.
After the storm, GW Bush could not legally send in help until he received a request from Blanco. She delayed it just long enough to inflict all kinds of chaos for the media’s consumption. Bush’s mistake was to not make this public. And this was not the first bit of game playing.
Hurricane Andrew hit Homestead Florida. Media was there like johnny on the spot to show the world all the death and destruction. The governor of Florida at the time was a dimrat. His name means nothing because they are interchangeable parts. Anyway, the Florida gov waited for 5 days to formally request help from GHW Bush. The media got their show where they got to highlight Bush out on his boat in Maine while Americans were suffering. Call it the first “Bush’s fault”.
And for all the Perry complainers, imagine if we had a democrat like Windy Davis or a Maw Richards.
