Bush was briefed about Katrina

[Flip]

From what i hear i think they were talking mostly about the fact that the levy would not withstand the blow of the hurricane and that he did nothing to help reinfoce the levy. Not sure how much could have been done in that time period but i believe that is what they are refering to... (i work at CNN and watch WAY too much news...)

I agree and I think the media is also trying to imply that he lied when he said his administration had no idea of the magnitude of the hurricane.. which I could agree that he lied but what politician doesn't? That is what gets them in office in the first place.. not to say it is right but people are expecting way too much of one person. They act like Bush could have swooped down himself and saved the whole city.. New Orleans was not the only place that was hit by Katrina.

I was speaking in generalities. No where in the Constution does it state that it is the job of the President to protect States from natural disasters. Like the guy above said, "The city of NO & the state were given funds to make the leves stronger and bigger. Going back 30+years. that's corrupt leadership in NO at it's finest.
these are the same who are people bitching and moaning, "Bush lied. He didn't save us. ". It is this entitlment mentatlity of the "poor". And the socialist agendas of the people that want to keep them there. Because if you put a community in a situation where they've lost all will, ambition, and desire to work and support themselves you will have absolute control over them. thus making them dependent on you(wellfare) and they will vote for you and keep you in office.
