When we all woke up the next morning everything had done to hell in a handbasket... Bush and other rescuers started to respond ... but then moronic people in New Orleans started SHOOTING at the people trying to help them. This cause several days of delays before rescuers could be safely brought in without fearing for their lives.
Compare that to what Obama has done... it's been like a month and a half now... and all he has done is pick up a few tar balls and appoint a commission to study the problem between his golf games and parties.
Don't forget his first responders were...lawyers!
