The real reason is probably that W saw this marxist Tsunami coming even before we did in 2004.. and thought ‘well, let’s see how much the people love socialism once they get it good and hard.’
About the only nice thing I can say about W anymore is that he was a good and credible CINC when our military needed one last decade.
And that he did everything he could to prevent Katrina’s effects, being blocked and refused by Blanco and Landrieu.
