A. I never voted for Bush.
B. I have already said in this thread that I haven't watched any of the coverage (not that I'm wouldn't if I could have, I was just working until midnight all the past week and didn't see it) and therefore have not been following the hurricane.
C. My point was that what little I have seen is complaining about how the government is doing a horrible job, yet no one is saying what they should be doing, other than turning hundreds of thousands of people on a dime and shifting trillions of dollars of funding in a day or two. It's like when Donald Trump walks around The Apprentice and says "work faster" and "time is money"
D. I've also seen the connection to Iraq made ad nauseum, like it was some "talking points" memo that got sent around, which is just foolish.
If this disaster hit any other place in the country, it would not have been nearly as bad. The majority of the problem was caused by not addressing it before the hurricane hit moreso than not doing enough fast enough after it did.
And I have no qualms about blaming the government for not addressing the issue beforehand when everyone knew New Orleans was ill-equipped to handle a hurricane of this magnitude
