"I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees."

- Geroge W. Bush, this morning on ABC's "Good Morning America"

As someone who's managed people and projects for thirty years, I find I'm asking myself a really sickening question.

And and that I really, really don't like it when I give myself an honest answer to that question:

"If I had to make the choice, and had an important project requiring advance planning and the ability to execute under difficult circumstances, would I be better off assigning it to George W. Bush, or Osama Bin Laden?"

Based on performance, I'd fire this President and much of his team in a heartbeat.

Instead, I'm stuck with them for three years.

And the other resume on my desk is from Hillary Clinton.

The reality of failed leadership - from both Republicans and Democrats - is sickening, and America deserves better.

Bush invaded Iraq better than vice versa.

I'm curious how Bush was responsible for the inability of the state and local governments to develop a disaster plan for getting those without cars out of the city.

FEMA's mantra is that states have to take care of the first 72 hours. Louisiana failed to do that - they didn't even take care of the 48 hours before the storm.
