...will Katrina sink Bush. Well I heard lots of blame being thrown around at first but now people seem to be putting that aside for the moment and are just trying to help solve the problems that are going on. Will the blame game return??? You bet. Will Bush get the brunt of it? I doubt it. He has time to find people to take the blame from him. Not to mention, he may not be really be to blame. I don't like him but I am able to say that it may not be his fault. There are a lot of other people to look at and possably take down.
So my answer as always to this thread is I doubt Bush will sink.
I do want to put one other thing in here. In my short time here at HoP I have noticed a lot of threads being taken over by tangents and others beside the person who posted the thread. I am wondering if it is normal for HoP? Oh well.

Yeh Pele he won't be the one to go down. Last night on the radio (ABC news) I heard them start up again with Dem's blaming the Pres and a Rep starting to build a bypartisan committee (gotta double up) to investigate who was to blame. Over and over they kept say who is to blame. The sad part for me is why could it not be just an accedent or a screw up or a deliberate way to kill poor blacks in the south? Oh that last one wouldn't be good to admit would it? It may be true though. I would hate to find out that it was. That is all we need, more tentions btween ethnic groups. I don't know what cuased the lack of assistance but the sad thing is that it is still a problem there. The Govener still will not force people to leave. The water is so toxic that they say not to even touch it!!! Morticians said not to be surpised if the death toll exceeds 40,000 people!!! What the *@!(&%^$@!@#$%&I^%&^&$@#@$%^&**^*@!#$!*(*$^%^^@. OK I feel a little better now. Why did this happen? That is going to be a big question, but Bush is safe from it even if people do blame him. He won't get to much put on him. As I stated early on I hope though this brings the troops home. I know we can't just pull them out. But I hope it starts untill they are all home again. I had friends go over and I have meet others who have come back. I wouldn't wish for anyone to have to be over there like that.

Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.

Fully 86% of [Britons] said Bush's handling of the crisis was "Bad" or "Very bad", while 70% said he was a "Generally incompetent" President.
...
63% think that the response to the Hurricane would have been speedier and more effective if most victims had been white and middle class. 67% think that racial divisions in America are as bad as ever.
...
The findings do not appear to have been driven by hostility to America over Iraq. Less than half (48%) thought the failings in Louisiana and Mississippi were because money and man power had been diverted to Iraq.
...
The poll (by YouGov the online pollsters) uncovers deep hostility to Bush. 57% agree, and 23% disagree that he is "one of the worst presidents America has ever had". By 66% to 18% they think that he is "generally untrustworthy" and by 68% to 21% that he is "not really interested about the fate of ordinary people".
...
Americans believe by two to one that the government should have been better prepared. One in three say that it would have responded faster had the victims not been mostly black or poor. The mounting criticism has prompted supporters of Bush -whose popularity fell to a record low of 39% in another poll yesterday- to try to shift the blame to Ray Nagin, the mayor of New Orleans.
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.
