Oh. Editorial: As tragedy hits, Bush is missing from duty

September 1, 2005

As Americans in the mostly destroyed Gulf Coast struggled to cope with the deadly and devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina, where was their president?

Still on vacation.

Worse, still out of touch.

Were National Guard and Reserve units, plus active-duty outfits in the world's most powerful army and navy standing ready Monday and Tuesday to rush to the rescue of the besieged?

Nope. Their commander in chief was AWOL - at least until Wednesday afternoon, when finally he began to call in the cavalry.

Where was the nation's supposedly much-improved emergency response system Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to deal with what everyone was told was a Category 5 hurricane capable of catastrophic devastation?

It sure wasn't anywhere near Katrina's path.
