Beyond the poll numbers, the Bush administration faces some immediate, urgent challenges—and serious questions about its response to the disaster. For all the president’s statements ahead of the hurricane, the region seemed woefully unprepared for the flooding of New Orleans—a catastrophe that has long been predicted by experts and politicians alike. There seems to have been no contingency planning for a total evacuation of the city, including the final refuges of the city’s Superdome and its hospitals. There were no supplies of food and water ready offshore—on Navy ships for instance—in the event of such flooding, even though government officials knew there were thousands of people stranded inside the sweltering and powerless city.

2. Bush's incompetancy is obvious

and even the MSM realize that this is a "safe" news story on which to report. After all, Katrina wasn't a Democrat. And the way this disaster was handled has got to make people wonder how secure our homeland will be.

4. The Bush Administration screwed up!!!!

Spread it far and wide.

No amount of showboating will bring the dead people back and the fact that the President of the United States continued his vacation days into this disaster should be considered dereliction of duty and Bush should be impeached immediately.
