For anyone, even now, to make the argument about Bush 43 and his personal decision-making with regard to emergency preparations and relief efforts vis-a-vis Katrina is just another chapter in the politics of opponent bashing and points to the continuing ideological chasm between what 43 was actually, personally responsible for and what people like yourself find as grist for your ideological mill.

It is a good thing, though, that the emergency relief funding bill that BHO voted NO on, just 10 days before his speech referenced in the article above, passed anyway, since those funds were sorely needed for Katrina disaster relief and beyond.

In retrospect, one must ask of BHO… doesn’t it take a special kind of hubris to get up and talk like that when your own actions were in direct opposition to preparing for disaster and could have, if others hadn’t taken proper precautions, caused a relief debacle far greater than actually occurred?

And in consideration, who was actually the bigger incompetent?

Do the Republicans REALLY want to reopen their administration’s response to Katrina now? Do the really think this is going to be a winner for them?

If they really think so, we’ll have a very nice time talking about the GOP’s incompetence right now in 2012.
