Especially when you start off black

What a A-hole!!!!!!

Turns out it had nothing to do with ignorance and everything to do with arrogance. Obama is so far over his skis he better tuck and roll and hope he can do a summersault or better yet face plant.

You forgot about the Peter Principal

Can't understand why EVERYTHING bad that happened in the previous 8 years including natural disasters was Bush's fault while EVERYTHING bad now is either a staffer's fault or even better still Bush's fault? :zz: :zz:

I don't fault this position entirely, and could understand why you're defensive about it -- but they're apples and oranges and I think you know that.

Nobody is saying Katrina is Bush's fault, like he went down south and whipped up a good ol' home cooked hurricane. The response to it was Bush's fault because he didn't care to have any oversight of it while it was failing miserably and leaving people to drown and die.

Obama, on the other hand, doesn't appear culpable for this having happened in the first place either, so the only thing you can be upset about is his response. I know you, like Malkin in her column today, want to link the two, but it doesn't work that way just because you want it to. I think the person who ordered it should be fired. Plain and simple, but to either blame Obama personally for it having happened in the first place, or to try to compare his response to this with Bush's response to Katrina is outlandish.

Republican leaders must be accountable

Democrats not so much

I'm sorry but was Bush supposed to put on his trunks and dive in to save people? Katrina was mother nature's fault and the disaster that resulted was the city planners who decided to build a city at the bottom of an empty swimming pool's fault.

And to the many who blamed Bush for 911 now defending Obama's ignorance of the $300 thousand plus flyover with the excuse 'it was a staffers fault' just doesn't float. Is he accountable for anything not read off a telepromter or is it the speech writers at fault? This was AF 1 and I'm fairly sure one guy can't decide to joyride over Manhattan for a couple photos.

While I dont think that Obama should be blamed for this

I COMPLETELY agree that if it was a Bush staffer Bush would be chewed up and spit out by now..
