That’s pretty easy for people to claim the same thing.  Don’t you know that is a tape?  If you haven’t heard that yet, you will as soon as some people (David) get ahold of it.

I think that makes it even worse. He knew what was coming, and he STILL had time to play the guitar 2 days later? (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050830/480/capm10208301856)

Yep I agree. Why is he not going how come nothing is happening on the ground (either fed or local).

So if Bush was watching TV and knew everything that was going on, why didn’t he tell FEMA that there were people at the convention center?  Your options are either incompetence or malice.

Your blind obeisance to this guy and wholesale swallowing of the Rovian propoganda, in the face of clearly observable facts, is truly baffling.

What the picture explains to me is that George W. Bush can get the Weather Channel in Crawford, Texas.

“The bottom line is that despite the fact the president was strapped with two governors who bungled this crisis badly, in the end it is the president who sends in the National Guard and FEMA relief. The president’s suggestion that the size of this storm caught all by surprise just doesn’t get it. His administration was 48 hours late sending in the National Guard and poor Americans got raped and killed because of those mistakes.”

What bleeding-heart liberal said that?

Had they been aware of where New Orleans was
they might have done better.

The original Federal Disaster Declaration issued on August 27th included every parish in Louisiana except those likely to be struck. It does not include New Orleans or the surrounding area.

A second Disaster Declaration that included New Orleans was not issued until August 29th.

These are from the White House site. They screwed up. The tip of Louisiana was the last area to receive a disaster declaration.

Nothing was being sent to New Orleans until after the storm because there was no authorization.
