Actually, I agree with you. I believe that substantively, Bush did a lot in advance. His brother is the country's best governor, so he probably expected the same level of competence in LA, which did not occur.

He also called a state of emergency before the storm hit and urged the local idiots to evacuate.

Where he is slow? PR again. He's allowed his enemies in the press to team with the left to define this is the worst possible way for him - again.

Like what liberals and their media whores have been doing to President Bush for the last five years, and they never won a single important battle against him. Not a single important battle.

I have gotten really discouraged about Bush's "bad" public relations...

I have to believe that he just tells them that he doesn't want any "Well "i" have done this, "i" have done that"...he just doesn't toot his horn...

And when the dems, and MSM go after him...he doesn't care.
