The Bush admin did not bungle the Hurricane Katrina disaster. GWB did make a silly statement that
“Brownie is doing a great job.” HIs appointee did get sacked for the perceived inaction of FEMA.

Yet, I remember that on the second day of the disaster GWB had the National Guard and Coast Guard out in NO. Plus he himself had a fly over the city in the helicopters. The ditzy press corps criticized him for not being on the ground. Well, the ground was covered with floodwater.

Obama deliberately signed a law that he wanted in order to change our health system and redistribute the wealth - plus he wanted to us all to pay for abortions and birth control. Now he is dictating terms to private businesses on how they should run their insurance companies. He is like a yoyo, changing directions on a dime.

Recall as well that, two days before Katrina hit, GWB and the Director of the National Hurricane Center were on the horn to Mayor Ray Nagin and Gov. Kathleen Blank-o, pleading with them a.) to evacuate the city and b.) call out the National Guard and have it standing by.

Neither made a move...

That got me too. Progressives always rewrite history and for good reason in this case. The are covering for both Mayor Ray "School bus" Nagin (felon) and most importantly for Sen. Mary Landrieu, who provided the deciding vote for ACA. Landrieu is up for re-election.

The Democrat governor of Louisiana and the Democrat mayor of New Orleans bungled Katrina...not to mention the local Democrat politicians over the years who had not seen to it that the levees were strong enough.

The media succeeded in convincing the public that everything was Bush's fault, but I don't think even they claimed that Bush steered the hurricane to hit the chocolate city.

Obamacare, on the other hand, is a calamity entirely created by the Democratic Party.
