1. Yes, he did.
When New Orleans needed food, water, ice, blankets, medicine, and transportation, Bush sent in tanks.

15. I am African American and I hope I am expressing this
correctly.

Katrina showed America how mean and cruel the Bush Crime Family was and still is -- not just because it was happening to (for the most part) poor people of color but because it was on television 24 hours a day.

I can still remember Kanye West saying at the Red Cross Special,
"George Bush Doesn't Like Black People."

That stuck, not just with Black people but with so many Americans.

Katrina was raw footage, not like the Corporate Media showing us tiny photos of eight school children dancing in Iraq.
That was a Media cover up!

7. Never mind that the phrase is stupid.
It's so cause-and-effect challenged, yet conservatives seem so proud to keep repeating it over and over again. Just because you happen to be in office during a 7-year period of no attacks doesn't mean anything you do or are doing will prevent another one.

Never mind that he had massive foreknowledge and warnings of the worst terrorist attack on American soil and cowered behind school children and his comfy confines of AF1 on that day, only to scamper up a hill of debris and remains with his toy bullhorn four days later. Sure didn't see much action, precaution or defense that day. Wonder where the defense was for the Pentagon, especially after they knew for a full hour that planes had been either been hijacked or gone off course. Are giant low-flying planes usually allowed a long-ass joyride through DC airspace?

Yeah, that's heroism.

Idiots.

11. Probably.

13. Someone always leaves out the Columbia disaster.
Preventing that kind of thing was SOP until the Bush administration took over. He and his cronies are directly responsible.
