Worse under what measurement, that the water was higher? That makes no sense.

When you look at the entire situation, Katrina is much worse in terms of net destruction and suffering.

The population makes a big difference here, as does the slow rise of the river which gives the National Guard, who are on the job, a good amount of lead time to manage the situation.

Sure if your life is upturned it sucks personally, but the thread is about why Obama isn't fixing the situation, which is just a bull%$%$%$%$ argument to fake outrage. Buck and Beans are sounding more and more like Air America every day...
