That the Decider is REALLY the Delegator and therefore cannot ever be blamed for anything?

last year people thought this disaster was the final blow to the presidency, yet it does not seem to even have made a dent. plus, didn't the mayor of new orleans during the crisis get re-elected?

i know at the time blame was being spread all around, and don't know if he should have received more blame but i just find it interesting that with all the antics of the "blame game" that were being played, no one seemed to be held accountable.

We learned that Bush "fiddled" while New Orleans drowned.

During this past year, the president's approval rating have remained in the 35% range, and even Republican agree that Bush's ratings will never improve much because of his inept handling of Katrina and its aftermath.

Why would you be surprised that anyone within this administration would be held accountable? Have they showed any compulsion to accept responsibility or put any emphasis on that ever? Anytime they get accused of anything, they just say they're doing it for the safety of all Americans and, if you disagree, you're anti-American.

I have my theories on how Nagin won re-election but that's all they are.

Race is always a factor in Louisiana elections, RobbO.
Another theory is that most of the blame in local Louisiana politics over the handling of Katrina was put on the state government. That means Kathleen Blanco's days are numbered and Landrieu was Lt. governor.

this is not very promising...

"New data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers confirms fears that rain from hurricanes and tropical storms could flood some neighborhoods with up to 5 feet of water when new floodgates are closed at the mouths of three major drainage canals."
