If that's the case then you aren't being very fair to him. As far as giving notice to the people, I live in New Jersey and I followed this storm everyday on the news way back when it was still a "tropical depression" without a name. There was about a week to 10 days notice of this storm to the people in the South. Then for days people were told to evacuate. Then evacuations plans were put into effect and hundreds of thousands of people did go. You can't blame the President for the ones who stayed behind. Response after the storm was as good as it gets. You aren't going to put FEMA or Red Cross workers there before hand and make them victims of the storm too. They have to come in after and that is exactly what they did, and have been doing since the moment the storm passed over. Of the 43 Presidents this country has had, do you think any one of them had resources (both human and monetary) at the ready to ensure that no one got hurt in a category 4-5 hurricaine in the Gulf Coast? Surely you don't. Playing politics with the deaths of thousands of Americans would make me feel pretty awful. You should reflect on what you are saying. You know there is nothing any President could have done differently. The title of this thread is reflective of the victimology identity that holds someone is always responsible for another's misfortune. ------------------------ Yahoo!
