It is mostly aimed at the media that said Bush should have done more faster, when Bush shouldn't have done anything at all. Lousianna and New Orleans should have been better prepared, but it's history now. The point is, the same voices that were screaming that Bush isn't here are silent while Obama isn't there either.

True or false? We don't have the problems in the North sea, operated by both Britain and Norway despite some catastrophic fires, so it seems as though you've got something wrong, which for a country so heavily dependant on oil is surprising. -- Clive |
