How the hell you make a statement about Bush" hindering progress" is beyond me. You know, that if he had no showed like Obama, he would have been ripped by the media.

I'll give you an exact example as to how he hindered progress. From the moment Air Force One entered the Louisiana airspace, every aircraft in the vicinity was required to be grounded. This included state aircraft that were providing supplies and volunteers that were assisting in rescue searches. It also shut down areas to volunteers while Bush was on the ground.
"In St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes, just south of New Orleans, victims of the hurricane are still waiting for food and water and for buses to escape the floodwaters, Melancon said. And for the entire time Bush was in the state, the congressman said,
a ban on helicopter flights further stalled the delivery of food and supplies."
