Yes, it's all the media's fault

Katrina was a Bush failure because the Federal government let a massive breakdown in the state and local governments go unchecked for too long, allowing a very bad situation to get much worse. It's not like Mayor Nagin got a lot of great PR over the situation, the media made him out to be an idiot.

So Bush should have overrode the lack of leadership at the state level and sent in the National Guard? Remember we all thought for a day or two that New Orleans had been spared.
