And they will also realize that Obama played golf while this hurricane made landfall and didn't give a rip until it was almost gone.
This will NOT do what he wants it to do. In fact, it will most likely have the opposite effect.
Indeed. Katrina was a Cat five which made landfall as a cat three just east of New Orleans. Everyone thought they had dodged the bullet until the levee was breached and the 9th Ward was flooded (oh, I forgot — Bush blew the levee up so that black people would die or lose their homes /sarc). There was an incompetent Mayor who didn’t follow the evacuation plan for New Orleans. And whose idea was it to make the Super Dome (or whatever it’s called) the refuge of last resort, when it’s right in the flood plain??? Then there was an incompetent Governor. In addition, Bush was constrained in his response by posse comatatis.
Irene, otoh, made landfall as a relatively weak cat 1. True, it was slow and is causing a lot of flooding, but it’s nothing on the scale of Katrina. Obama had cooperative Governors and Mayors in every state, with well-thought-out LOCAL evacuation plans and good coordination and execution of those LOCAL plans. No comparison.
