Bush's evidence of leadership
Evidence came forth through Michael Brown's testimony today to the Katrina commission that the president sat on his hands and did nothing for 12 hours after the White House had been informed that the levees had broken in New Orleans.
Of course Bush thought that "New Orleans dodged a bullet."
Bush lied about not knowing that the levees had broken.
Bush made a special emergency trip back to Washington D.C. to sign the "Terri Schaivo" legislation but he could not leave his ranch in Crawford to "lead" our country in arguably its greatest natural catastrophe in history.
What if your grandmother, mother, sister or brother were left on their rooftop without food or water for days? Would you think that Bush was a good leader?
The night Katrina hit I personally watch Louisiana governor Kathleen Babino Blanco asking for help. She let CNN's Aron Brown know that "this is bigger than us.....we need help!"
Bush had already called republican governors Haley Barber of Mississippi & Robert Riley but where the greatest loss of lives and physical damage had occurred (Louisiana) he had not called governor Blanco a democrat.
This is despicable.
Homeland security? Karl Rove thinks that the republicans will win again in 2006 on National Security like he feels they did in 2002 and 2004. They have been exposed.
