No leadership before Katrina, no leadership during Katrina, no leadership after Katrina

"after promising..." now there's two words that can serve as bush's epitaph...

Almost two months after Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast and a month after promising in a nationally televised speech to help rebuild the region "quickly," President Bush has settled on a cautious, piecemeal approach that even many members of his own party fear will stall reconstruction and sow economic disarray.

"With all due respect to the president, things are not going to bubble up from the bottom," said Jack Kemp, who was Housing and Urban Development secretary under President George H.W. Bush. "There has to be some federal leadership here."

no problem, jack... there will be... soon after pigs learn to fly...
