If a dummy like Clinton (Gore or Kerry as well) had been in charge, who knows what would have happened!
I have one theory. Say what you will, but it would not have taken Clinton and his administration four days before any solid action was carried out in New Orleans. i guarantee it!!! If for nothing else, Bill is a sax player...he loves jazz and ergo would never allow catastrophe to lead to calamity in the big easy.
and I don't blame the president completely. Afterall, he's just doing the best he can. Plus it wouldn't be fair with such factors as poor communication and lack of planning playing major roles. But combine those things with Bush's lack of instinctual inability to properly deal with matters of critical importance, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Need I take us back to the morning of 9/11 when he sat in that elementary school classroom for seven minutes reading childrens stories and wetting himself before doing a thing? In retrospect that response proves to be a foreshadowing in what amounts to the only reaction one could expect from him in such recent events.
