Part of the problem is that in the Democrat's incessant demonizing of Bush after Katrina ( for political gain) they created an expectation that somehow everything should, and will be fixed immediately..

It's totally unrealistic. You can't rebuild an electric infrastructure..poles, lines, transformers, for hundreds of thousands of people in a week or so..

That's only when Republicans are in charge.

Exactly.

That doesn't keep people from deluding themselves into thinking that you CAN rebuild all of this in a week or so. And this is where government falls on its face ... when it can't deliver on the promises that makes.

Personally, I think this is what drove Bloomberg to make those stupid statements about endorsing Barack Obama because Hurricane Sandy was evidence of "climate change." When an elected official in a position of responsibility starts to blame some unseen boogeyman like "climate change" for his troubles, you know he's pretty much exposed himself as an incompetent fool.
