Campbell Brown on Bush Final Press Conference
Dubya
Cat-5 Hurricane Katrina (8/2005)
Response: National Guard troops down about 8,000 members because they are in Iraq with much of the necessary rescue equipment needed. Bush was on vacation (as usual). On the day Katrina landed, Bush attended a birthday party for McCain. While emergency 1.5-ton sandbags were ready to be placed to steady the levees and absorb water, there were insufficient numbers of helicopters and pilots to set them before the levees break. Nagin pleaded for federal-level assistance and got none. Bush went to San Diego to play guitar and ended his vacation early -- but not until the next day.
