Only an idiot would observe that Obama isn't more engaged than Bush was.
Well, he's definitley more engaged with showing up on the television circuit, like Leno and 60 minutes. I hear Letterman is pissed that he hasn't been included. I'm sure we'll see BO there soon.
It is still way too early to turn in a report card on Obama. Few presidents in our countries history have been handed the flaming crap bag that Bush passed on. He was elected with a clear margin to advance an agenda to make good on.
In regards to a comparison with Katrina I think the defunding of the corps of engineers on the levys and Brownies inept handling of FEMA enter into the discussion.
Obama has chosen people with experience as oposed to putting peoples lives at the mercy of a horse show judge that contibuted to his campaign.
But don't let that slow you down. The contrast you expose with your belated boot licking is welcome.
What is your time line before a president is to be expected to react to a disaster?
A flood happened in his first 70 days, so he gets a free pass at ignoring it? If it was his 85th day would it be different for you? Where do you draw the line?
