Public Skeptical New Orleans Will Recover Criticism, but little outrage, for Bush's and federal agencies' response to hurricane
by David W. Moore
GALLUP NEWS SERVICE
...
Despite widespread criticism of the response by Bush and, separately, the federal government, to the problems caused by the hurricane, the public seems on balance only mildly critical. Forty-two percent say Bush did a "bad" (18%) or "terrible" (24%) job, but 35% rate his response as either "great" (10%) or "good" (25%).
...
When asked to identify who was most responsible for the problems in New Orleans after the hurricane, 38% of Americans said no one was really to blame, while 13% cited Bush, 18% the federal agencies, and 25% state and local officials.
...
Few Americans feel that any top official in the agencies responsible for handling emergencies should be dismissed from office -- just 29% say someone should be fired, while 63% disagree.

Looks like this whole story by the MSM is doing about as well as Dan Rather's National Guard Memo. Good to see.

Opra and MSM sure have a lot of work to do. They think we are stupid and they can change the truth.

Despite widespread criticism of the response by Bush There is NO widespread criticism!!! There's just a tiny handful of the usual suspects getting way too much media time.
To: Uncle Joe Cannon
The rat's (liberal/left/RINO) own measurement methodology is showing that they are failing in their attempts to blame the admin and federal agencies for the tragedy.

But ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBCFOX all said it was the President's fault!
What power they have in persuading people to their side.
Karl Rove must have fixed the polls. Maybe those diebold voting machines are involved? (lol)

Really bad new for the Bush haters. As more and more information comes out, such as the conviction of 3 State of Louisiana Dept of Homeland Security officials for trying to obstruct a audit of Flood Control projects last year, this can ONLY go one way. They sucker punched us by going political so quick but as always the truth will turn right around and bite the Hate Leftists on the butt.

To: Uncle Joe Cannon
The American people have witnessed the utter failure of the welfare system and the people who depends on it for almost everything in their lives. They have seen the looting, and heard about murders, rapes, crimes, and they were shocked at how some people can behave like in time of a disaster. They saw the utter incompetence and absolute lack of leadership among the state and local officials of Louisiana. They saw all this and they hate what they saw. Liberals and their media whores can make all the biased polls in the world to show that president Bush is to blame but the majority of American think otherwise and they primarily blame the majority of people who stayed either because they are stupid or because they are criminals who wanted to loot, and they also blame to a large degree the incompetent fools who are the mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana.
I am really surprised that the defeated liberal media despite all the incredible blame Bush hysteria and lies in the last ten eight days and all the effort to make the most biased polls did not yet succeed to show that President Bush is to be blamed by majority of Americans for what happen during and after the hurricane. Both ABC news polls and CNN polls failed to do so despite an incredible method of bias that I am sure they have used to conduct these polls.
I hope that the President addresses the nation tomorrow in a prime time speech in front of a joint session of congress to address the hurricane, the gas/oil crisis, and the war on terror in particular in Iraq. An address like will be great for all of us.

This is actually heartening. Considering how many people irrationally HATE President Bush, it's amazing that the numbers are so low.

Once again the idiot liberals took it too far, and everyone saw right through their politicizing of the tragedy.
They honestly thought that they had Bush on the ropes!

Also, with the news of Nagin sending his police off to Las Vegas, it really shows who cares about NO.
