"Micromanaging the disaster relief efforts of 2004 just to give Bush photo-ops is a "conspiracy theory." We all just "know" that Bush only cared about getting re-elected." Fair enough. Then why the difference in response between the hurricanes in 2004 and 2005? Not just initially, but even weeks after the events?

re: Micromanaging the disaster relief efforts of 2004 just to give Bush photo-ops is a "conspiracy theory." We all just "know" that Bush only cared about getting re-elected. No, it's not a "conspiracy theory". Any incumbent presidential candidate is going to jump all over a disaster in a swing state during an election, dem or rep. They were throwing around money left and right. The point was that it's not a good comparison with Katrina... where there was no election to motivate. John
