Trump: Bush probably worst U.S. president [was pimping Hillary for Prez in 2007]

Bush’s eight years had more mistakes than Obama’s two. The handling of Katrina was a nightmarish bungle.

Katrina was handled very well, extraordinarily well by the local (excepting New Orleans and a few other nearby Louisiana towns and parishes), state (excepting Louisiana) and Federal agencies and officials. Don't trust me on that -- trust the real reporting that has been done. For example:

Popular Mechanics: Debunking the Myths of Hurricane Katrina: Special Report

GOVERNMENT RESPONDED RAPIDLY

MYTH: "The aftermath of Katrina will go down as one of the worst abandonments of Americans on American soil ever in U.S. history."--Aaron Broussard, president, Jefferson Parish, La., Meet the Press, NBC, Sept. 4, 2005
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-rescue effort in U.S. history, with nearly 100,000 emergency personnel arriving on the scene within three days of the storm's landfall.
Dozens of National Guard and Coast Guard helicopters flew rescue operations that first day--some just 2 hours after Katrina hit the coast. Hoistless Army helicopters improvised rescues, carefully hovering on rooftops to pick up survivors. On the ground, "guardsmen had to chop their way through, moving trees and recreating roadways," says Jack Harrison of the National Guard. By the end of the week, 50,000 National Guard troops in the Gulf Coast region had saved 17,000 people; 4000 Coast Guard personnel saved more than 33,000.
These units had help from local, state and national responders, including five helicopters from the Navy ship Bataan and choppers from the Air Force and police. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries dispatched 250 agents in boats. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), state police and sheriffs' departments launched rescue flotillas. By Wednesday morning, volunteers and national teams joined the effort, including eight units from California's Swift Water Rescue. By Sept. 8, the waterborne operation had rescued 20,000.
While the press focused on FEMA's shortcomings, this broad array of local, state and national responders pulled off an extraordinary success--especially given the huge area devastated by the storm. Computer simulations of a Katrina-strength hurricane had estimated a worst-case-scenario death toll of more than 60,000 people in Louisiana. The actual number was 1077 in that state.

Note that the propaganda barrage against George W. Bush using the motifs of Katrina was an INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL ATTACK ON AMERICA BY THE MARXISTS. That utterly vile and nearly wholly false propaganda about Katrina and New Orleans ended up being a significant factor in the Marxist takeover of America. It significantly factored in the election of a committed Marxist and closet Muslim, a major fraud, a deadly traitor and an American hater -- Barry Dunham, aka Barack Obama, Barry Soetoro, and other akas.

And you, walterandrews, fell for it.

There is only so much I can help the gullible.
