Some people criticize Bush for "not doing enough" during Hurricane Katrina, but doesn't the president have a very busy agenda all the time? Plus, some people say Bush was supposed to land the plane in the flooded areas --- how?
Also, wouldn't that have prevented National Guard troops from getting the aid and perishables through that (limited) supply lines in the affected areas?
It's kind of a big security deal if the President of the United States lands a plane somewhere dangerous... it would have been a clear distraction...
More importantly, didn't the government already GIVE advance warning to the New Orleans residents to move out? 80% of the residents did, but of the few that refused to, why should the government be blamed for someone's irresponsibility to follow directions?
To be fair, I feel the same way with Obama.
It's BP who caused the spill, not the Federal government.
So how can he be blamed? Why are people saying it's "Obama's Katrina"?
Now, I'm not a fan of government so much, but how much can a single person do to fix everything??
Shouldn't people be grateful at least that our shores aren't covered with oil for a month already?
