"There's all kinds of time for historians to compare this response or that response," he said. "I'm thinking about people whose lives turned upside down. The experts can try to figure out if the response was perfect."

President Bush strolled into California today alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger who looked a hell of a lot more and sounded a lot more like a president than the one we have now.

There were lots of references made to Katrina and how he has learned from that disaster effort. Well after reading the above article you continue to see what a fool the president is. Not to mention the appearance that he constantly tries to portray with the tough guy sleeves rolled up look to the conservative right wing voting base.  

The quote at the top came right out of his mouth. We are still talking about the Katrina response because it was piss poor. The fact is that perfect or not, the response should have been better because people are supposed to trust in their government to come to their aid in times of emergency.

What is happening in California isn't because the federal response has been better, its because California deals with wild fires ALL THE TIME. They are ready for it! Maybe not on this magnitude but they know how to handle these situations without the help of the idiot in the White House.

Maybe if he would have put people in charge of FEMA who were actually qualified to do their jobs the response would have been better and we'd never be having this conversation.

Yet another example of how this administration is totally clueless. If I were a resident of California Id take his being there as an insult. Id hold my hand out and say just write the checks so we can rebuild our homes and be on your merry way.

California has been burning for a week and just now he shows up and even speaks about it?

The response is no better. Give me a break and get this guy out of office.
