For those who consistently defend the Bush Administration as on top of this situation, the Prez sez:

"In a television interview, Bush said — mistakenly — that nobody anticipated the breach of the levees in a serious storm."

Some did, but Da Man Who Could Make Things Happen says he didn't, and no one else did.

Now, from the same article, stunning examples of compassionate conservatism:

"Bush had raised eyebrows on his first trip by, among other things, picking Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss. — instead of the thousands of mostly poor and black storm victims — as an example of loss. “Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott’s house — he’s lost his entire house — there’s going to be a fantastic house. And I’m looking forward to sitting on the porch,” Bush said with a laugh from an airplane hangar in Mobile, Ala."

"Later in Biloxi, Miss., Bush tried to comfort two stunned women wandering their neighborhood clutching Hefty bags, looking in vain for something to salvage from the rubble of their home. He kept insisting they could find help at a Salvation Army center down the street, even after another bystander had informed him it had been destroyed."
