Bush Took Katrina Blame Too; Still no Results

Worth noting on a night when many newspapers are leading with headlines such as “Bush Takes Blame For Iraq,” that 16 months ago this same president reluctantly accepted blame for the other major disaster of his disastrous presidency. “Bush takes blame for flaws in Katrina response” may have occurred two weeks — not nearly 4 years — after it became obvious that the federal gov’t was to blame for stepping on our freedoms and liberty irresponsibly, carelessly and not as democracy would have it. (And, no, I repeat, democracy does not require one to “seek out and destroy,” those who think differently).

For the record, it is severely underreported that New Orleans remains in shambles, very few people have been able to return and/or rebuild, primarily because money STILL hasn’t been properly doled out from the state and federal allotments and insurance coffers.

So don’t be surprised that when this soulless president once again “takes blame,” he already feels somehow absolved by his “cause.” Certainly don’t expect the lights to stay on in Baghdad any time soon.

UPDATE: For more on the still-disheveled state of affairs in New Orleans, listen to this excellent commentary by David Koen.
