Obama needs a whipping boy to contrast his "greatness" -- FYI: In a story at the Hill, Susan Sarandon compared him to Jesus and another liberal/fascist entertainer compared him to Mohandas Gandhi -- and George W. Bush will be Obama's and the Democrats for, well, the foreseeable future.
Maybe GWB was slow to act. But at least he did. Within four days of Katrina's devastation, he signed a $10.5 billion aid package.
He certainly did more than the re-elected mayor of NOLA, Ray Nagin, who failed to implement the evacuation plan.
And more than the governor of Louisiana and its two U.S. senators, who seemed paralyzed, especially the governor who delayed activation of the National Guard.
FWIW: Churches, including the one I attend, and buinsesses in this Mid-Atlantic/Southern area of flyover "racist" Red State America sent truckloads of food, clothing and supplies to the Gulf Coast. Members of our church went to serve, too. For the life of me, though, I don't recall liberal/leftist organizations, or Jeremiah Wright's TUCC, doing something similar.
I digress. Sorry.
I've a nephew who, along with this wife, lives in Jefferson Parrish. While he's a liberal, I've never heard him criticize Bush or the federal government about the cleanup efforts.
But he has nothing good to say about the mayor or the governance of NOLA and how they conducted themselves in those days.
