1. You can only shift blame unless people were blaming you first--ergo, Dems used a natural disaster to blame the president for global warming (which is generally called "weather").

2. This post fails entirely to mention the NYT and WaPo articles TODAY that say that first, Louisianna got the most money for the Army Corps of Engineers than any other state; second, that Bush's spending towards Louisianna's ACEs was more in the last five years than the last five years of Clinton's administration.

3. NYT has a front page article demonstrating that Bush would have had to declare an "insurrection" in New Orleans in order to wrestle the control from Governor Blanco. I can only hear the screams now of Dowd and Maher of a White Male President becoming a "dictator" by going around a woman and a black man (both Democrat) to handle the situation.

4. What makes this disaster different? New Orleans and Louisianna. Somehow, under the leadership of Jeb Bush, Florida got through four of the worst hurricanes it ever faced (all in one year) and there was no problem with FEMA (and Michael Brown). But when we are dealing with a democrat governor and liberal mayor and a city who's been in liberal decay for decades--we have this disaster.

Note--the Red Cross was just across the bridge with water and food and medical care, but the governor (DEMOCRAT) ordered them not to help the people on the freeway or in the Superdome because they wanted to starve them out (convince them to leave the city). How humane is that?

And all the footage that followed that horrible, inhumane decision by the DEMOCRAT governor is being laid at the feet of Bush who had no constitutional authority, other than to become a dicatator, to handle the situation.

My fellow brothers and sisters starved and thirsted in the superdome because of a Democrat. Unforgiveable.
