For much of the Katrina disaster, Bush was a no-show. He appeared indifferent and his flyover on AF1 looked callous.
Do you really think Bush was indifferent to the suffering of the people on the Gulf Coast? Or is simply that your hatred of Bush makes you view him that way? Bush didn't REALLY do anything differently than Barack Obama has done for disasters since he became President. The royal ****-up took place at the local level during Katrina...Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin were clueless. Bush took heat because the Federal Government couldn't react fast enough to salvage that complete FUBAR.
Image is everything.....especially when you are President
Bush got it on 9-11 and nailed it in his public apperances and post 9-11 speeches
With Katrina he bumbled. He reacted with too little too late. His chosen leaders were inept. His Brownie, you are doing a heckuva job was insulting to all Americans
It was a major Bush blinder
