Bush didn't "screw up" the Katrina response, Kathleen Blanco and Ray Nagin did. Bush screwed up the political fallout afterwards by underestimating the Democrat-media alliance that shifted the blame to him.

It wasn't Bush who delayed in asking for national guard support before the storm, it was Blanco who feared it would make Bush look good.

It wasn't Bush who left buses stranded in parking lots instead of evacuating people, it was Nagin.

It wasn't Bush who diverted money for levee maintenance to crony projects, it was the Democrats who ran New Orleans who did that.

He screwed up by not federalizing the response to Katrina. When he found out that Gov. blankstare and Schoolbus Nagin were purposely sabotaging the hurricane response, he should’ve taken it out of their hands.
