That's precisely my point ... Bush botched Katrina by underestimating the damage that would occur from a category 5 hurricane ... although he was briefed. Bush instead of staying at the ranch in Crawford should have had his butt on AF1 winging back to Washington in the hours immediately before the storm or, at the very least, flown up to NORAD in Colo. Springs to monitor developments ... after all Katrina was headed for 'Rat state. Instead the storm hits, he gets on AF1 and flies out to a Pubbie fund raiser in San Diego ... talk about clueless.
If a major storm hits my area I don't want the President walking around shaking hands and nodding his head. I don't expect him to know the ends and outs of Texas. (well ok, I would expect him to know a little more than a foreigner:') Anyway that is my Governors job. If I should act like NO and cry and demamd more and more while bad mouthing him, I give him permission to tell me "fine, fix it yourself", put the money tree on a flat bed and tell Fema to go home. NO was an opportunity for his enemies. Do you still hear about problems in Florida? Mississippi, what about Houston?. Why not? They all suffered damage. You have to ask yourself, could you have done better in NO? The writing was already on the wall.
Give me a break.......
Got those Dem talking points down pat I see.
