"5. Much of Katrina was due to Bush's incompetence
He appointed an incompetent moron to head FEMA, and dragged his feet responding to the disaster. So yeah, he bears a lot of responsibility."
Oh, geez.
1. FEMA is a liberal government group.
2. Bush declared a State of Emergency in New Orleans two days before Katrina hit.
3. If you're looking for a politician to blame for Katrina, try looking at N.O.'s mayor and Louisiana's governor (Both Democrats). Coming up with appropriate pre- disaster evacuation plans and post- disaster responses was much more their responsibility than Bush's, and they both failed miserably. I can still remember the photo of dozens of school buses (Each of which could have been used to evacuate 20- 30 people at a time, had a competent mayor or governor given the order to do so) left unused, sitting in the water, a complete waste. All the mayor did was exploit the tragedy to whine about Bush and make racist statements (i.e. expressing his desire to see post- Katrina New Orleans become a "Chocolate city").
