Now Obama says he is going to be "relentless" on this oil spill. He doesn't say how and is already finger pointing after being quiet for a week. Is it just me or is he doing a lot of the things he complained that Bush did wrong?

It took Bush something like two or three days to respond to Katrina.
It's taken Obamorist two weeks to respond to the biggest oil spill in US history.
Despite all of Bush's screw up and short comings as POTUS, Obama should aspire to be half as prudent as Bush was.

It took Bush four days of pleading with the the Louisiana electorate before they condescended to accept federal assistance, the fed cannot unilaterally intercede in emergencies without the approval of the individual state's goobermint. And yet they blamed him for everything but the hurricane itself...

This will change... I have to believe that once the oil makes landfall, local fisheries will go belly-up and the domestic shrimping industry will be defunct in the gulf. Once you give those shrimpers a camera and a microphone, I believe they will point fingers everywhere,
including towards the White House.
Well, Bush isn't president any more and hasn't been awhile, so you can't blame Bush anymore as far as I can tell. Maybe they can find a way. Fair is fair, though, if Bush was to blame for the handling of Katrina -- no matter who was supposed to have authority, who was supposed to order evacuation when, who was supposed to request federal assistance but didn't -- then I guess Obama is going to be held by the news media to blame for what ever the fall out is from this oil spill, right? I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for the mainstream media to handle this even handedly and pummel Obama on this as they pummeled Bush on Katrina.

[DailyKOStard]But.... The media is eminently fair. Except for those guys at Fauxnews.[/DailyKOStard]
Maybe we could get WillPA to hold his breath until the media decided to take off the Obama "kid-gloves" and treat him the way they did Bush. I haven't seen someone turn blue in quite a while...

The reason Bush didn't get blamed for the hurricane is because the hurricane didn't demolish n.o.--the levee breaking did. The levee that had been having all types of warnings and gov't funds thrown at it for years and years and years, but for some reason was unchanged when the waves hit. I wonder how many LA politicians retired from levee funds...

Cat 5 hurricane, levees being breached, people displaced, DEATH, homes and business destroyed, food and medical shortages, chaos, FEMA, children in harms way, all in a matter of hours? I'm not by any means a Obama fan, or apologist, but I can't see ANY comparison between these two disasters and the response time needed.
