It is still too soon to tell what kind of changes that Katrina will cause. But the country is different now. For no other reason, the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people are going to change a lot of things. Bush, by pushing the chronic poverty in the region is fixing to make his life even harder than it might be otherwise because if there is any group who is almost totally incapable of actually addressing the issue it is the neocons. That is one issue he should have tip-toed quietly around because the Katrina related issues already make for a very full plate. But, by making that issue a centerpiece, he risks exposing his administration as totally inept on an issue where they have no credibility at all. And you are forgetting Iraq which was floundering badly even before Katrina. They are trying to give the impression they are on top of it but I can guarantee that's not the case. When a ship as big as FEMA starts to flounder in the middle of the worst disaster in a century, you have got to know that every available person in the White House is on it. Nothing else is getting much attention. Its very likely that now Iraq will go spinning out of control completely. And still the average American doesn't fully get what an idiot they have in the WH, and the ones that do........don't want to lose their tax cuts. ted
