What does it matter what Bush knew about the New Orleans levees. Without the cooperation of the local officials he couldn't have done anything anyway.

It isn't the role of the federal government to bail out every city that has a natural disaster.

The fact that Bush's name is brought up in any context with regard to Katrina just proves what an entitlement state the U.S. has turned into.

Now, the port controversy is relevant. The role of the federal government is definitely to ensure the national security and defense. And I think the port deal will have many unintended consequences *and* unforeseen threats. And I totally agree, because a mistake is made by allowing the Chinese (or any other) government to control one of our ports, doesn't justify doing it again.
