Bush has made some major goofs but Katrina is way down the list. In fact, it's not even on my list.

I'm no big fan of George but these ex-aides aren't worth a damn.

It was horrible PR wise though. It was one of those moments where I said to people this was it- a defining moment, at least in the eyse of the press and the public. He has had the worst luck. Katrina, 9/11, housing crash etc.

"Katrina to me was the tipping point," said Matthew Dowd, Bush's pollster and chief strategist for the 2004 presidential campaign.

It was a tipping point all right - it was the point where many of us saw the liberal Dubya come out. He caved to the left-wing media by coddling New Orleans, instead of standing up to the crybabies that whined about those "poor people" that decided to stay behind and loot while the wise ones got out of town.

The bottom line is that Bush was very poor at defending himself, he let the media define him. Fairly or unfairly, that’s just the way it is.

Bush’s biggest failure was his reluctance to fight back against the RAT propaganda machine.

Lawrence Wilkerson, top aide and later chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, said that as a new president, Bush was like Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee whom critics said lacked knowledge about foreign affairs.

So what does this say for Obama who has less foreign policy experience than both Bush and Palin?

This is so obvious.

-Ex POWELL aides quote to VF mag

-AP Yahoo make it a news story.

I am not defending Bush but it is so obvious the AP/politico yahoo pimp for Obama, that they will do anything to show their bias and bash Buah.

Meanwhile the credit/ financial crisis continues.Things are heating up in Israel and obama golfs and whines about his privacy while his corruption of Chicago politics reigns with him looking like a messiah.
