Louisianans think Bush did better on Katrina than Obama’s doing on the oil spill

[bijou]

Devastating.  Especially since it comes from left-leaning pollster PPP.

    Our new Louisiana poll has a lot of data points to show how unhappy voters in the state are with Barack Obama’s handling of the oil spill but one perhaps sums it up better than anything else- a majority of voters there think George W. Bush did a better job with Katrina than Obama’s done dealing with the spill.

    50% of voters in the state, even including 31% of Democrats, give Bush higher marks on that question compared to 35% who pick Obama.

    Overall only 32% of Louisianans approve of how Obama has handled the spill to 62% who disapprove. 34% of those polled say they approved of how Bush dealt with Katrina to 58% who disapproved.

The big winner? Bobby Jindal, whose 63 percent approval (65 percent on handling the spill) is the highest for any senator or governor in PPP’s polling this year. He lost some of his righty rock-star luster after that SOTU disaster, but I think it’s safe to say that he’s gotten it all back: The latest is that he’s lost patience with BP’s containment efforts and given the order to the National Guard to start building a barrier wall off the coast to try to protect the shoreline. 70 percent, here he comes! ...

There was a focus group on Hannity one night late last week. They were all from LA.

The majority agreed with the article posted. They also want drilling to continue....closer to shore!

Problem with Katrina is that it was the state that screwed up, not federal. If you are in a hurricane, you are on your own, the government cannot help.

Where did I put that picture?

Ah.  Here it is.

If one's heading for Houston, they come down here. Headed for Brownsville, come up here. Headed for here, go to San Antonio; but bugout quick or end up sitting on the highway when it hits. Evacuations do run smoother since Katrina, it seems. I'm sure Obama can have a reasonable dialect with a hurricane and convince it it's in it's own best interest to go away. He's really good at that.

When Hurricane Katrina is mentioned, I think of the idiot known as Ray Nagin. Even more idiotic are the people of New Orleans who reelected that moron in 2006, back when Katrina's flood waters had barely receded.

Ah yes...Mr "Chocolate City".
Least we forget he spent the night before Katrina hit in a bar at a hurricane party.
