“If Bush had done that in 2005, the media and the Left would have screamed bloody murder. Nauti-nurse and anyone who followed the Katrina live threads knows that it was Clinton’s former head of FEMA who advised Gov Blanco not to request Federal participation for one very bad extra day. And that was done specifically so that President Bush could not be seen to be “in charge.”
I also remember Hillary calling Blanco tellling her not to do anything until she, Hillary, got there. Hillary arrived — held a news conference, (oh, ya Gov. Blanco was there sic), AND blasted President Bush for not responding.
That was when I lost what little respect I had left for the media -—
I will be so glad when this thing is over. Woman in New Scotland where one of my daughters lives was killed in rising creek waters and ongoing current situation in Granville, NY where a woman’s car has been swallowed up by water and they are frantically searching for her. Very long day.
Was it Hillary or Senator Landrieu that you remember? Every democrat used the suffering of the people on tv screens to bash President Bush.
Remember how the media criticized him for not landing in NOLA when he was flying from Texas back to DC! When people were still being rescued from rooftops!!!
