I am still stunned, all these years later, at how the Democrats and liberals in the MSM, through their biased coverage, politicized a hurricane.
I am still stunned, also, that the obvious shortcomings of Democrats Nagin and Blanco, in handling the disaster in New Orleans, were basicially ignored by the MSM and liberals and Democrats. Instead, everything was blamed on Bush.
Liberals were not persuaded by such legalisms, such as state governors having to formally request federal disaster aid and all that, when coping with natural disasters. Instead, liberals thought that Bush should have been in New Orleans from Day One, directing traffic.
Thankfully the media continues to lose influence. But they planted a powerful narrative that Bush was inept, which affected Bush for the remainder of his term.
Dilbert, whatever planet you're on, I'd like to be there too...
Obama has a long history of rewarding his supporters & ignoring everybody else. Since LA is likely to vote Romney in November, he has no political reason to help the recovery.
I expect him to foul up the hurricane recovery just as he does everything. That could enrage enough voters to sink his reelection chances.
