WASHINGTON (AP) - Hurricane Katrina has many legacies for the Bush White House, none pleasant. One is the guarantee that as soon as disaster strikes in the United States, President Bush's every move is closely scrutinized to gauge the speed and tone of his response.

i’d say the Katrina legacy haunted Gov Blanco more - and justifiably so. buh=bye, and hello Gov Jindal.
What, they are not happy with the 200+ Billion that President Bush promised? Can we have the FEMA trailers back now?
Should be haunting the Democrat graft kings down in Louisiana who kept the dough and didn’t fix the dike.
Oh, good grief. Where do they get these people?
Exactly! Like W created the storm, steered the storm, built the city of NO, hired Nagan and Blanco, removed all the starters in the buses, blew the levees, forced all the remaining residents to stay put at gun point with the military, and used his hand to force the city of NO below sea level, knock a hole in the rough of the Superdome, put the $90K of marked bills in Jefferson’s freezer, and for the last 30 years skimmed 20% of all the federal levee improvement monies into his foreign bank accounts. YEAH THAT”S IT!....yeah right.
It won’t be long before billions are appropriated for rebuilding, FEMA trailers come pouring in, legislation is introduced to keep those mean, nasty ‘ol insurance companies from raising premiums, and within a few years everything that was burned will be rebuilt. Just in time for the next bad fire season to take them out again and start the whole process over.
Wow, I had no idea the the President was a first responder.
If he comes to our shooting range he can shoot for half price.
Exactly, and to compare response to these 2 disasters in the first place is lunacy. Aid and supplies could move right into California. New Orleans was underwater making that impossible.
Whatever will your next column be on? A two year old report on the stock market?
Maybe you can turn to sports and do a write up on the 2005 Super Bowl.
I won't even start with 'Chocolate King', Nagin.
Thank you, Miss Didi! I haven’t gotten enough “Rush fixes” lately. )
RUSH: “One of the primary differences is that the local and state officials in California have done their job in getting people out of the danger. In New Orleans they screwed that up. They didn’t get all the people evacuated, and then the roads finally got damaged and flooded and they couldn’t get people out of there, so you had all the mayhem in the Convention Center and the Superdome. The Drive-By Media is trying to blow this thing up in California in ways they did with Katrina because they think they really did a great job with Katrina.”
The Katrina relief effort was the largest and most successful in the history of the world.
The storm destroyed the transportation infrustructure in a three state area along the Gulf coast. Nonetheless, the local, state and federal reponse kept thousands from dying from post-storm desease and shortages of food and water.
The main failing of the government response to the coming storm was the local and state failure to effectively evacuate the population. And for this, they blame Bush?
(Think yellow school buses.)
Jennifer Loven is a hate-Bush, hate Republicans, piece hate America filth.
Notice how no media outlet is calling that election a "leading indicator". If Jindal would have lost, they would have...
