Today in the news it was announced that the head of FEMA has been removed from the post of managing Katrina cleanup. This is a big mistake on the White House's part, they should have left him in charge specifically because the left was criticizing him. It wasn't FEMA's fault or anybody in the White House's fault that Katrina was so devastating. The Red Cross was ready in Louisiana with food and water, they went to the authorities and asked when they should take the stuff to the Superdome and to the New Orleans Convention Center. They were told that Governor Blanco did not want any supplies taken there, so as not to make it a target for more survivors to come in (they wanted to clear it out first). The governor failed in her job to provide for her constituents. Also Mayor Ray Nagen was supposed to release New Orleans' school buses and public buses to pick up those who could not get out by themselves. This he did not do, and the buses are still sitting in their parking lots with water all around them, ruined! Whose fault is this again?

Another aspect that is fascinating to me is how the left changes its tune so quickly, during the presidential election of 2000, the left declared that Bush was the idiot of idiots. From 2002 to 2004 he was characterized as manipulating the courts, the media and the congress to forward his agenda (Bush is now fiendishly clever) . Now the left is saying that not only is he the cleverest manipulator but he also controls the weather! When will the left ever get it?
