President Bush says the government responded quickly during Hurricane Katrina
I typically don’t discuss politics on this Celebrity Blog. However, President Bush is technically a celebrity, and I think its worthy to include him in a blog.
During his final press conference this week, reporters asked President Bush about the government’s slow response during Hurricane Katrina. The president became irritated and said the government acted quickly during the Katrina aftermath.
CNN anchor Campbell Brown took issue with the president’s comments that the government responded quickly. We all remember those images of thousands of New Orleans residents who were stranded and begging for help for several days.
President Bush’s comments just further reinforces that he is out of touch with reality, and he constantly lives in a state of denial.
Listen to Campbell Brown’s commentary below. She took the words right out of my mouth.

Tim, the government’s response to Katrina was unprecidented. Never before had the Federal government committed so many resources and so much money to a disaster relief effort. To critisize him for that is rediculous. Yes, we all saw those who were left stranded (by their own accord) standing on the bridge. But Federal resources were there, they just couldn’t get in to help as soon as we would have liked. It is easy to stand and critisize. Much more difficult to get involved and make a difference.
