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.

I’m thinking if it was a get out the vote effort to elect more dems, those buses would have been used.

Katrina as “Bush’s Failure” is a load of hogwash.

Actually it was getting bad advice from moles like these that was Bush’s undoing.

Right. The first responders have to be local and state, and there the 'Rats dropped the ball. Tertiary Feds' problem.

Let's face it, The GOP in the Bush era is rife with lowlife RINO bureaucrats.

Given the fact he had NO POWER to act until their idiot Governor asked for it, it isn’t applicable. Just another nail in the Constitution Coffin as far as the socialists go.

George Bush warned both Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco that they ought to evacuate people in the path of the storm DAYS before those two idiots finally decided maybe they ought to listen.

The insane re-writing of history by the Democrats and the MSM ever since has been beyond disgraceful.

This was emphatically NOT “Bush’s Fault,” but the fault of two Louisiana Democrat leaders, just as the mortgage meltdown ia almost exclusively a Democrat debacle.

The spin over the past four years has been unprecedentedly vile.

Just think.

He could have reversed his failed Presidency.

All with one act, in several simple stages.

Completely doing a 180 and opposing all amnesty, starting up the mass deportations and cut off all all federal services to illegal invaders, and building the US-Mexico border wall faster and higher than anyone could ever have imagined. He would have had the bucks. He lacked the WILL.

His popularity would be soaring in the 70% level.

Shame, Mr. President.

I don’t think Katrina was the lowest point.

GWB administration including Powell will be attached to WMD well beyond their days.

Cruel as it may seem, the Katrina storm/flood was coming one day. Living at or near sea level is living dangerously. Rebuilding on at risk areas is insane no matter what the jazz artist and cookies want.
