In fairness, he did talk about the responsibility of the states in the initial phases and I believe he mentioned also how W/Feds were ready to go into NO, but weren't allowed.

Yes, I heard him after I had posted my comment. However, when this hoorah first started three weeks ago, he was on the tube blasting Bush for his slow response.

He is backtracking because the FACTS are finally coming out, an I will bet he has heard from a lot of people like me.

I don't like people who won't stick with the President when the media goes into full-blown attack. They are cowards and opportunists, regardless of their political conservatism.
