Much as it breaks my heart to admit it is not the fault of the
president of the USA, I am at least able to say the damage to New
Orleans could have been at least prepared for using very simple means.
Naturally I wasn't expecting anyone to take any notice. But.. There you
are.
No one knew how incredibly tenuous the thread of reality that ran
through the Bush maladministration was in regard to homeland security
at the time. Certainly not that idiot.
"Tallies of electric bills and school enrollment figures show that less
than half of New Orleans's pre-storm population of 455,000 has
returned. The population of adjacent St. Bernard Parish has shrunk from
65,000 to less than 20,000. In small towns along the Mississippi Coast
from Bay St. Louis to Biloxi, fewer than 5 percent of destroyed homes
are being rebuilt.
Exactly how long the damaged areas will take to recover -- if they
recover -- has been a matter of intense speculation ever since the
waters receded. But with each passing day, more of the displaced are
buying houses or signing leases in faraway cities, and the weeds in the
abandoned yards grow higher.
By one measure, this "ghost town" effect may be long-lasting. On one
typical middle-class New Orleans street that was flooded, 10 of 15
families surveyed by The Washington Post said they have no plans to
return this year, if ever. Only one family of the 15 has gone back so
far."

Hurricane Bush it may have been but he was not responsible. He is in
fact the most irresponsible person that ever went into politics. He
makes Joseph Stalin seem to know what he was doing.
Imagine having a ghost town appearing in your term of office. Has
anyone told the president?
He singlehandedly lost a city, an ally and a peace. Now he is -or
should be, looking at losing two wars. In god's name, why doesn't he
just go?
