Bush's Worst Disaster as President - Hurricane Katrina??

This amazes me:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton returned to her favorite family vacation spot Saturday to raise money for her presidential campaign at a celebrity-studded event where she took some pointed swipes at President Bush.

Clinton—accompanied by her husband and their daughter Chelsea—smiled broadly and swayed to the music as singer Carly Simon and her two children, Ben and Sally Taylor, sang "Devoted to You" for a Martha's Vineyard crowd of more than 2,000.

Simon, along with actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, showered the Clintons with praise and predicted the senator from New York will be elected as the nation's first woman president.

In her speech, the New York senator blasted the Bush administration on everything from failure to address problems with global warming to education and the economy.

She aimed her sharpest remarks at what she described as the Bush administration's "indifference and incompetence" in dealing with Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.

"It is a national disgrace," said Clinton who is traveling to New Orleans this week to mark the second anniversary of the disaster. "What happened because of Katrina was a turning point in our country."

Not the part about Carly Simon or Ted Danson and Mary Steenbergen (that is to be expected), but that the best swipe she could take was over Katrina in New Orleans. I could do better than that, and I voted for him. Twice.

This is nothing new and since she isn't stupid, I'm assuming she was speaking to her N.O. crowd in advance. But what in the &)%$ was President Bush supposed to do about a hurricane in a state he wasn't governor of prior to entering office? After the hurricane hit, THE governor of the great state of Louisiana DIDN'T want the Feds involved because she wanted to hand out the state cleanup contracts. On top of all that, the Mayor of N.O. may have proved himself to be the worst mayor in a state that has a policy of only electing the worst of the worst.

Who really wants the President of the United States running down to disaster areas for photo ops and taking over what should be a state function. Bush doesn't know what resources are available to a particular state in the middle of a crisis. I hope he doesn't know anyway. I'd prefer our president concentrate on where we are headed as a nation and let governor's be accountable for internal issues.
