Liberal "journalists" are wimps. I was going to use a stronger word.
Every time I'm unhappy with Bush (which is a lot), I read stuff like this and am reminded who the real enemy is.
The "W, The President" sticker stays, if only to annoy a Lib.

yup, Pres Bush caused Katrina and prob caused these wildfires. WHAT an imagination these libs have. I wonder what color the sky is in their world? Nitwits.

Actually, this article is pretty neutral- the author is (rightly) pointing out that Bush not at his best during the Katrina aftermath and mentions that he had done better in the past.
BTW the Post is a conservative paper even by American standards.

But the best their commander-in-chief could manage was a presidential flyover. Ridiculous...these whiny lib journalists forget that at the time Bush did not want to land in Louisiana because his BIG security foot print would have been an unnecessary distraction from the relief effort.
He's literally damned if he does and damned if he doesn't!

It was two days after the storm, New Orleans was 80% flooded, and tens of thousands of people were trapped without help. Even the buses were trapped in New Orleans without aid from President Bush. < /mother of all sarcasm>

I love making editorial comments after the headlines, but I think this one speaks for itself.

Had you read the article you would have noticed this:
Ever since the Southern California wildfires burst into public view late on Sunday, the White House has been at the top of its game.

If Bush would have showed some “mettle” at Katrina instead of handing out thousands of taxpayer-funded gift cards, he wouldn’t need to be in California. This is not a national problem and it shouldn’t take the tax money from people in the other 49 states to resolve the issue. California’s residents, California’s problems.

When I lived in Marxist's Washington state, I loved to ask the lefties in Seattle, WHY, if they hated Bush so badly, did they let the University of Washington celebrate Bush by wearing that big W on the side of their helmets. Drove them nuts.

What did Sheldon expect Bush to do? Swim to New Orleans? What a putz.

Hmmm, from a Canadian Newspaper. Curious as to why you would be interested in what the canucks have to say about 'our' business.
Is it that you don't get enough negative, less-than-factual news from our domestic media morons?!?

"I read stuff like this and am reminded who the real enemy is."Well said, RIM. I had the same reaction.
Of all the valid reasons to criticize George W. Bush, not-showing-sufficient-concern-about-a-disaster is not one of them.
This sneer is so revealing of the shallowness of the Left--its overriding concern with feelings and appearances, its utter lack of depth and substance. This is one of the most frightening things about the Left and whatever its agenda du jour happens to be.

Ahhhh...it’s in association with FEMA, which is what your tax payor dollars already fund.
For your wish to come true, the agency (FEMA) would need to be defunded...so...that major disasters are only a state problem. Good Luck with that.

Yes - I’m waiting for the complaints that he visited the SoCal fire areas because a higher percentage of victims were white - unlike the shrine that NO has become to way too many.

Responsibility starts at the local. Why isn’t Nagin in jail for dereliction of duty?

President eager to show mettle after Katrina "muddle""The "MUDDLE" was due to NAGIN and BLANCO.
IMHO history will show that Brown, while a crony, did an adequate job in Mississippi and 4-5 other Hurricanes during his tenure.
The DBM and Dims SUCCESSFULLY pulled off the BLAME game hit job on Bush and Co for what was the worst NATURAL DISASTER in NO history.
