Bush was a lousy communicator and believed his actions would speak louder than any words. So, when he was blamed for every damned thing, it just soaked in. He simply refused to address it, confident that history would sort it out. And while the history is still being written by politically motivated liberal historians, over time, the political motivation leaves and you're left with only the facts. This is what I referred to about Doug Brinkley's history. It is remarkably detailed in the failures of Nagin and Blanco, yet in the end, he essentially uses a shotgun approach to blaming FEMA for everything -- in spite of his own writing which extensively documents the failure of the locals in the first place. We all hated to see the suffering, but it was at the hands of Ray Nagin and Kathleen Blanco, not those of the federal government.
