What about the democrats down in Louisiana that failed in their job of repairing the levees? Not to mention the evacuation fiasco? Perhaps, if they had not slacked off… if they had been prepared… if they had done their part, instead of relying solely on the government, the Katrina's disaster might have been prevented or minimized. The problem in LA was lack of leadership from the bottom up not money. Alabama, also, was hard hit by Katrina, but what a difference! Many other weather-related disasters have occurred in the last 2 years, yet, none of them has had a similar ending. That should mean something. Of course, it's much easier to blame Bush. Whenever Katrina comes up, it’s Bush and republicans’ fault.

Granted, Bush is an embarrassment to the party and totally mishandled Katrina. But I'll bet you anything that there will be similar colossal failures of the Obama administration in whatever disaster hits during his 8 years. But it won't be his fault. It's just that government agencies are inefficient by nature, as they are not pressured by competition of the market and have a much higher infestation of red tape.

They really suck @ it! Way too worried bout their own asses to help those poor people, like they didn't go thru enough already. If that last part is true and easily proven why hasn't legal action already begun? Speaking of that, how bout the Co's that made the trailers. Don't they have the responsibility to make safe trailers? I know some folks that spend lots of time in tow behind trailers. I wonder if the company names are public knowledge - or will GW put them on his to do list for protection too? Great,
