I question the sanity of anyone who chooses to live below sea level.

Trump is a master at getting things done.

Right now....his problem is people like McCain....Congress in General.....and the media....bless them.

How much of Katrina was truly a failure at the federal level, and how much was a media/liberal creation of a narrative, that Bush was to blame??

Bush declared a federal disaster even before Katrina hit.

The fact that local officials are the key people in charge when a disaster hits was lost in the media/liberal narrative that Bush was uncaring and inept and all that.

I couldn’t believe the left could politicize a hurricane when Katrina hit. Yet they did.

Maybe part of what we’re seeing is that the left saw that they couldn’t successfully politicize this hurricane, so they chose not to make that effort.

Well, you have a point.

Many people live their entire lives in their hometown. Meaning that if they were born and raised in a place below sea level, they give no thought to the danger or thought to leaving their hometown.

And let’s face it that natural disasters don’t happen every year everywhere. People just don’t think about it until it happens.

GWB, much as I am not a fan, was set up by the democrat governors ..who would not sign off to allow Fed funding to happen emediately.
Although, unlike Bush..Trump would not put up with that kind of crap.
He would have certainly called the Governors out.

It also reminds us, ONCE AGAIN, of what poor handlers Dubya had.

Contrary to Shelia Jackson Lee’s pronouncement, Houston is not below sea level.

Aw c’mon, good article.But how could you leave out Kanye West’s line: “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”

A big difference was that Bush was working with a democrat governor and Trump gets to work with a Republican governor.

A second big difference is that the media can’t control the message as well these days.

Nawlins was Ray Nagin's "Chocolate City". Add a spritz of seltzer and we got an old school Noo Yawk style eggcream. :/

The media and the left mercilessly destroyed GWBush over Katrina. They have turned “Katrina” into a meme that means “GWBush hates Blacks.”
The media and the left were listening to every word from Trump’s mouth, and monitoring his every action. He did nothing wrong, but nevertheless the f*ckfaces said he had no empathy.
To a lefty, this means that Trump should have SAID warm, comforting words like “I feel so deeply for the people who have died. I really have empathy for them, bla bla bla.”
Instead he went to work to help them! Words mean nothing! Actions do!
F*ck the left.

The misreporting, blatant lying and hyper-partisanship of the press during Katrina stands out as the moment when the MSM went over the wall. It was bad before. There has been no semblance of even-handedness since. The key mistakes in New Orleans before and during Katrina were entirely the doing of Gov. Blanco and Mayor Nagin. The press simply lied about it.

And so Bush was the Republican they could blame, since Nagin and Blanco were both Democrats.

The NO disaster was a fuster due to the Mayor and Governor failing to call for evacuate after Bush told them to. The “chocolate city” Mayor ended up in jail for stealing and freezing cash. Remember that?
