NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Democratic Party chief Howard Dean said on Saturday the Bush administration had "cut and run" on Gulf Coast hurricane recovery and created a political legacy of deficits, divisiveness and deceit.
Dean, speaking at the Democratic National Committee's spring meeting, said November's congressional elections would be a choice between real change from Democrats or more of the same from Republicans.

Typical Orwellianism from the left.
"Dean says Bush "cut and run" on Katrina"
What an ironic choice of words since that's what Dean wants in Iraq.
Just the words "Dean says" should be enough.
Howie, you do know what city you're speaking in, don't you? You do know that said city has long been legendary for the incompetence and corruption of its government? And you do know which political party has been almost exclusively in charge of said city for decades?
As to cutting and running...I heard about the feds having problems getting into New Orleans. I'll even allow that they could have gotten there faster, although I'm not sure how much faster anybody could reasonably expect under the circumstances. I don't remember hearing about anybody on the federal side loading up their work vehicles and deserting to another state rather than reporting in and working. I mean, I really wonder why this is a conversation you want to continue.
Why exactly is it the federal government's job to clean up local weather messes, anyway?
The people who didn't do their jobs were School Bus Nagin and Blanco the Indecisive.
Bush did made a mistake in thinking that Blano and Nagin, would be comptent..
I think DNC means "Dumb 'n Crazy" any more...
Did someone hear an annoying buzz, like a mosquito? Oh, it's just Dean again.
The Democrat's world has just shrunk to the size of New Orleans all the sudden.
Reality: Bumbling by top disaster-management officials fueled a perception of general inaction, one that was compounded by impassioned news anchors. In fact, the response to Hurricane Katrina was by far the largest--and fastest effort in U.S. History, with nearly 100,000 emergency personnel arriving on the scene within threeday of the storms landfall.
I did not see much of the ranking Demo on the Ethics committee stepping down or that the CIA leaker was a Sandy Berger appointee and a Kerry supporter, as was the perp. in Homeland Security.
MSM bias ain't none.
Howard Dean, dumb a**
This really is an insult to all of the thousands of Americans who have helped Katrina victims. He acts as if votes for Dems would get Republicans off of the stage, but what I want to know is how do we shut these guys up?
****
I feel like fixing up Dean up with Katrina vanden Heuvel. Two Manic Freaks ........
Dean cut and run on America a long time ago.
Is it just me..or does it seem odd that all the other hurricane ravaged areas have carried on. Maybe Mr. Dean (and I use the Mr. lightly) would be better served if he provided a plan for reconstruction...as the governing factions in New Orleans don't seem to have one. Mr. (cough) Dean carried out a wheel barrow of insulation from a ruined home..or so I read. Sounds like a photo op to me.
