Anyone who bitches about is either ignorant or mounting the usual ABB attacks. Thinking people realize, with amazement, just how fantastic this response has been.

I can understand how you could see it that way. If you listen to just Bush and to the FEMA director everything sounds great.....difficult but great. But then when you listen to the affected people......there is nothing great.....they are not getting adequate water, food and medical attention. The FEMA hospital at the New Orleans airport which has been open since yesterday btw is swamped. They don't know what to do with the increasing number of people being sent to them. That is just one of hundreds of examples that suggest there was not adequate planning done for this disaster.

Turn on the tube.......watch CNN and MSNBC. You'll get to see dead bodies floating in the water, dead bodies stacked up against the Convention Center, along the streets of New Orleans.

No one doubts this is a difficult disaster but to state that the Bush response was "swift and sure footed" as if you are writing a fiction novel is really too much to bear. Its partisan propaganda of the worst kind.
