True, and it was handled badly.

Worse, instructions were given to the public to seek shelter at places
where there was no provision for them to stay.

Playing eh blame game for Katrina never occurred to me until I saw
people Like Krause do so but I will not allow such crap. The Dems know
they are really exposed here as it was their officials who had the
primary authority to do things but didnt.

And in your opinion, that excuses President Bush for staying on vacation
for two days... doing nothing... while this disaster unfolded? And it
excuses his cabinet for sitting on their thumbs for over 5 days (still
sitting, in some cases)?

My what a lovely set of blinders you have on.

.. Bush is the hero

Yeah, being on vacation really saved the day. He set a tremendous
example of leadership afterwards, too, calling for looters to be shot
dead on sight and not getting anything in motion, then saying "Nobody
knew the levees would be a problem."

All he needs to do is wear a fighter pilot suit and say "Bring it on!"
and the whole country would be perfect, right?
