It's pure politics, trying to defend the inexcusable. It's all about defending Bush?
The fact is, they are botching this badly, and if you can live with that, then pleasant dreams.
You disgust me as well. So get off my back.

I give credit where I see it and call BS where I see it. Bush was great in declaring the emergency before the storm hit. But, to me, this tragedy is becoming bi-partisan. Members of both parties, local and state, failed both before and after the hurricane. And our federal government's slow response to the dying individuals in New Orleans is nothing short of appalling.
To the left, it's all about bashing Bush. You, too?
Have you yet grasped the enormity of this tragedy, and what they are dealing with?
You obviously have no clue as to the breadth and scope of this disaster. In the earlier hours, I was quite critical of Nagin, but no more. I reuse to criticise either democrat or republican.
This is bigger than anything we've ever seen.
It's bigger than us.
We can't "Control" it. Nagin can't. Blanco can't. The fed's can't. And it's nobody's fault.
The president can't snap his fingers and get water to everyone who needs it, everywhere they need it. I don't know where you live, but NOLA is TWICE the size of my city, and my city is quite large.
I'm sick of EVERYONE at FR acting like this was ever manageable, by anyone.
Everyone will do the best that we can from here on out. When this is all over, we'll look at this and learn from it.
I'm not saying this was a judgement from God, but every now and then mankind gets too full of itself until something happens to show us just how insignficant we are in the face of God, or Nature, whatever.
This is bigger than us. It is quite telling that people are saying they can't understand this is happening in the US. Maybe now we will get it. We are not so wealthy and powerful that we are immune from disaster.
I'm sorry, this is bigger than us.
