Bush loves to do his part to help..........

I watched a show on the tragedy and they stated that those levies were built to withstand a hurricane of that category.


EDIT:

I ment that they were NOT built to withstand that kind of category. I wrote that wrong.

well, they didn't, and in the paper this morning, bush said he accepst responsibility or whatever for the slow response.

and cudvig and pimpin dsmstyle are right, bush was on his 5 week vacation from the most important job in the world, so why should have have tried harder to convice people to evacuate. have sent out a mandate, signed a bill for relief, even before the 'cane happened. it wasn't his fault that he went to get a guitar after the hurricane hit, he had to chit chat with his "base".

it really wasn't his fault the place got tore-up but seriously, the response from the feds was poopy. he should have recognized.

The levees were built to withstand a category 3 storm versus the category 4 that Katrina was.

I think you need to look at what all President Bush did during "vacation." I read a good news story about what all he was doing but of course I can't find it again. I do know that he hosted at least 1 prominant world leader while "vacationing." Maybe they went fishing together.... :cool:

Don't get me wrong though, I personally believe the now resigned FEMA director ought to be the next one before a firing squad led by Katrina victims. The response was awful on the federal level however the response on the local level wasn't that great either. This morning on the Today show they were talking about how the committee/whatever in New Orleans in charge of taking care of the levee system and related items is an absolute corrupt joke.

seriously though, who takes a month vacation. 2 weeks maybe 3. and at least spread them out so it doesn't look like such a huge break.

I will tell you that if I were president, honestly now, i'd maybe take a couple weeks of vacation. and holidays would be optional. but that's just me, i have what you call "work ethic". he just seems to have some "vacation ethic".
