The blame game.

for the most part, all that is being said in this thread is "i hate bush".

hate bush all you want... but don't do it to the point that it is simply reflexive and ignorant.

bush has lost any credibility that he had with me in his failure to get in there and be a part of things as the countries leader during the worst natural disaster ever to be seen in the US.

however, the mayor and governor let every citizen of the state down. they knew that the chances of a direct hit is 100% since the beginning to time. ... just a question of when. they knew the levies could not hold and they obviously were not very prepared to deal with the situation when it happened. telling the population to go to the super dome or convention center without any support, aid, authority figures, leadership or police was beyond insane. buses flooded in parking lots. police completely broke down (state and city) with no communication and nowhere to be seen and out of control etc etc etc.

any objective view of the situation will clearly show that there was a breakdown on every possible level of government from the mayor to the president... however, it all BEGINS with the city administration and state administration... state issues do not begin and end with the Federal Government, Bush, FEMA or Cheny or Haliburton or Michael Moore or Iraq or South Park or whatever it is that is pissing you off most about our Presidents Administration. you can't blame the federal government without indirectly acknowledging your complete ignorance of our countries political system and how the country functions legally on both the state and federal level.
