Bush On Katrina: ‘Don’t Tell Me The Federal Response Was Slow’ which is to say, he's misremembering reality, again.
From the article:
– National Guard troops did not arrive in the area until two full days after the levees were breached.
– Bush did not leave his vacation home or assemble a task force until Wednesday, two days after the hurricane made landfall and the levees were breached.
– By Thursday, three days after landfall, FEMA had yet to set up a command and control center.
– FEMA Director Michael Brown said he had not heard about the more than 3,000 evacuees stranded in the convention center until Thursday. Many evacuees had been there since Tuesday morning.
– On Friday morning, Bush praised Brown: “Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job.” He also said he was “satisfied with the response.”
– FEMA did not finalize its request for evacuation buses until Sunday, six days after Katrina hit. The buses “trickled into New Orleans, with only a dozen or so arriving the first day,” noted the Wall Street Journal.
– The Superdome was finally evacuated on Sunday, a full seven days after 30,000 evacuees had arrived there.
Maybe we are differing on the interpretation of the word "slow", Georgie? Maybe a week is fast in your world but for people living in the hell that was the aftermath of Katrina, it was a lifetime and the blase way you went about dealing with it speaks volumes as to your character or lack thereof.
The revisionisticalism effort continues unabated and unfettered by reality.
