I remember too, that Bush signed a disaster declaration for that area before Katrina even hit. And Mayor Chococate Nagin was on TV two days before it hit, and then the day before also, urging everyone to get out. It’s very sad that too many didn’t leave in time. Whose fault is that?
I’m still frustrated that Bush was blamed for all the problems of Katrina and the gov’t response to same, when the mayor and governor there were both good Democrats. The liberals succeeded in politicizing a natural disaster. The liberals succeeded in knocking Bush and suggesting that the federal gov’t, not the state and local gov’t, had the supreme responsibility to prepare and rescue people.
“I’m still frustrated that Bush...”
I don’t believe the man defended himself or his dedicated staff once; not only did not defend himself, but apologized for things he did not have to..e.g., Niger uranium story.
He did the same thing for whole eight years, never understood it.
I think I will be dead before the truth comes out.
