Bobert can't say how much money the Bush administration should nave spent to prevent the death and destruction in New Orleans yet he keeps ragging about Bush cutting funding as if that is the cause.

No amount of money would have prevented the destruction because it is a 10 to 20 year project to get the levees up to where they would withstand Katrina.

The death was caused by the failure of the local government to evacuate the people as per their plan. Bobert says their plan was not funded. I say they had all of the rescources they needed to evacuate the people but they blew it. They piddled around worried about lawyers and what would happen to the tourist trade. You know like the Mayor in the movie Jaws?

Despite the understanding of the Gulf Coast's particular vulnerability to hurricane devastation, officials braced for Katrina with full awareness of critical deficiencies in their plans and gaping holes in their resources. While Katrina's destructive force could not be denied, state and local officials did not marshal enough of the resources at their disposal...
...Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco –who knew the limitations of their resources to address a catastrophe—did not specify those needs adequately to the federal government before landfall. For example, while Governor Blanco stated in a letter to President Bush two days before landfall that she anticipated the resources of the state would be overwhelmed, she made no specific request for assistance in evacuating the known tens of thousands of people without means of transportation, and a senior state official identified no unmet needs in response to a federal offer of assistance the following day. The state's transportation secretary also ignored his responsibilities under the state's emergency operations plan, leaving no arm of the state government prepared to obtain and deliver additional transportation to those in New Orleans who lacked it, when Katrina struck. In view of the long-standing role of requests as a trigger for action by higher levels of government, the state bears responsibility for not signaling its needs to the federal government more clearly....

GWB blew it in the sense that he appointed incomptent people to manage the recovery.

Here is what went wrong in a nutshell

Bobert is going to be able to find a lot of stuff at that URL to prove his point but it also points out the failures of the locals. What I am trying to say is, why would Bobert try to put all the blame on one person when a lot of people are to blame? The reason is because Bobert has a personal grudge against GWB that affect his reasoning.
