I'm not sure Bush did all he could, nor do I believe he came across presidential or as a strong leader (but hey what else is new). However, I find it hard to put him at the center of the blame.
Pre-storm and levee break the blame falls squarely on the local and state government. They failed to evacuate the poor from the city, or care for those in the Super Dome and Convention Center. Post storm and levee break it falls on the state and federal level agencies (FEMA, Homeland Security, etc..). They failed to maintain or restore order, get adequate supplies to those in need or to rescue people in a timely manner etc.. I would like to see Bush have the situation investigated and if it is determined that Federal level Agencies failed in their assigned tasks then the head of those agencies should be fired. However, that would require Bush to be strong and Presidential, something I've yet to see him do. The state and local level government officials will have to answer to their constituents. Let's see if they are re-elected. I'm not sure criminal neglect charges would stand. I wouldn't mind seeing them charged though. The lack of the local government to follow established emergency plans cost N.O. alone thousands of lives.
