It’s easy for me to laugh, I’m not there.
should be interesting to see how this stacks up
t0 Katrina.
The primary difference between Katrina and Sandy is not the extent of the damage, or the factual FEMA response, or the numbers of people endangered or the numbers of people still suffering four days after the storms’ landfall - Sandy may score higher on all of those.
The biggest difference is a media that used a crisis to go after a president and now paints 100% similar circumstances after a similar crisis as irrelevant to the performance of a president they worked so hard to elect.
The truth may be less than something in the middle. The truth may be that they are so trecherous in that they are now giving federal officials the benefit of the doubt (FEMA acts on locally determined requirements and locally determined targets), the more honest benefit of the doubt that they denied to George W. Bush, because like Axelrod they “could not let a crisis go to waste”.
