Louisiana voters -mainly Democrats- are blaming GW for being slow to the rescue. Where were the Democrats before Katrina not just in the last 4 years, but in the last 40 years with regards to reinforcement or reconstruction of their levees, preventive measures, and most important, education of their people?
The bigwigs Democrats in Louisiana knew for years what their preventive measures were, but the implementation of these measures such as moving people permanently from the floodplains to less risk areas, and restoring wetlands didn't have the funding and political will to do the job. It was easy to keep building dams because they are subsidize by the federal government and it was an immediate solution to a temporary problem.
Now the media and the Democrats are blaming GW for their problems. Figures.
You just about summed it up perfectly!
