Your attempt at disguising your liberal leanings is thinly veiled. Katrina was Katrina, and it was the media and their ilk that considered Bush's actions incompetent. Katrina became a disaster because of two things. First, the local politicians were completely inept. Secondly, the people who were affected were rendered helpless due to their history of total government dependence.

You and Katrina are two fine examples of where socialism leads a nation.

I’ve never said that Blanco wasn’t inept. When did I ever defend Blanco or Nagin?

That doesn’t mean you let the guy at the top off of the hook.

Just because someone is of your party or shares your beliefs does not mean you blindly follow them like a kamikaze and refuse to criticize them if they do something wrong.

Bush’s handling of Katrina was not as bad as the media made it and the attempt by them to make it into some kind of race thing was dispicable. However, to say that how he handled the storm was great and that his example is to be followed would simply be dishonest and like it or not that hurricane played a large part in getting the disaster we have in the White House elected.

And not every victim of Katrina was some lifetime welfare recipient in New Orleans using government money for dope and rims. A lot of people who’ve never taken a dime of government money in their lives lost their homes and lives in that storm across the region.
