Since the hurricane hit last week, all I've heard from people is how this is all Bush's fault. They blame him for absolutely everything to do with the tragedy. Now, I'm no Bush fan ...but this is getting annoying. So it was interesting when someone sent this article to me. It details the steps that Bush took to prepare for the disaster and how local government rebuffed his efforts.
Obviously, this is as biased (in the other direction) as everything else you read out there ...but at least you can get a different view of the situation. Take it as truth ...or fiction... it matters not to me.
Here is the article
Give it a read, it's not long.

Check that site out...Snopes is very reliable and it shows that some of the points made in that article are false.
I also think that people take it too far when they blame the President for everything having to do with the hurricane, but surely, because of his ineptitude, his ignorance, and his appointing people to important posts with no qualifications, he deserves at least some of the blame.
-yes, reliable only to the bleeding heart left wing...
-i wonder what ann would say :-)
-thanks for the read, robbo...i, like you, am not the biggest fan of the president myself, but i think the storm still would have happened regardless of who was in the white house...like i wrote in toms's blog earlier: mother nature tends to have a way of evening itself out. look at the area of the country that was hit...

Just to defend snopes, since I love that site, here's four articles (of many) that defend the President. Snopes is about truth, and has no political affiliation.
Of course the storm would have happened; no reasonable person argues that. Its the response to and preparation for (or lack thereof on both counts) the storm that's the problem.
