President Barack Obama said Friday that residents of the US Gulf Coast still are trying to rebuild three years after Hurricane Katrina and have not received the support they deserve from Washington.
His words amounted to sharp, though indirect, criticism of former President George W. Bush's oversight of the Katrina recovery efforts. Katrina was blamed for more than 1,600 deaths and $41 billion in property damage.

This needs a serious barf alert....
Obama’s about loud mouthed a racist as we’ve had on the public stage since Theodore Bilbo ~ he glosses over the recent disaster in Western Kentucky and Cincinatti to complain about George Bush.
And the white folks in the ice storm got too much?
I want to stay in the Swan rent free for months, too. Well, something like the Swan, but not in SF.
It seems like they got a lot to me.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Katrina spending was done with a shovel.
Pearls before swine!!
Oh, for Pete’s Sake! This jerk didn’t even bother to check out the ice storm in Kentucky!
We are truly governed by buffoons.
Folks got rent free hotel rooms and complained about them.
Kind of a microcosm of the entire welfare system in America.
“Bush was widely believed to have botched the response to the devastating storm of August 2005 by being too slow to respond. The country watched in shame as the catastrophe cemented images of Bush being out-of-touch: flying over a flooded New Orleans, praising his beleaguered emergency management chief for a ``heckuva job.’’
OK has Obama even flown over it yet? And do you think there is a reason republican Bobby Jindal is now governor there and the dem governor who obstructed the relief effort didn’t even seek reelection?
Worse, those ungrateful bastards were moved into MY neighborhood and got to live here rent-free after Katrina. The crime rate (always very low) skyrocketed. Trash on the streets ... formerly rare went into overdrive.
Fortunately the benefits ran out and the filthy nasty scumbags moved out while trashing the houses they were living in. Is that all of them, no. But definitely a supermajority of them.
Every year 100s of people’s homes are destroyed by tornadoes and super cell thunderstorms throughout the Midwest and Great Plains. Yet we get 0 government assistance because we have a little thing called INSURANCE.
ACORN got their cut.
The VICTIMS of the earthquake in SF at the beginning of the last century didn’t get enough, Obambi!
That’s how to get rid of them, and how it might have to happen when the states reassert themselves -
no benefits = no deadbeats.
Hey, Obama, neither did the survivors in KY. Remember them? They are the people YOU IGNORED after they were hit by storms last month. I guess they weren't black enough for you!
Go to hell Obama....
