I must not watch the same news shows you do. I can find plenty of statements where he said we need to improve, but I'm unable to find anything in which he says we're "ready for any challenge."
He may have said we are EQUAL to any challenge, but that's different.

Really, no reason it took DAYS to get help in. There's seriously no excuse for it. I knew the hurricane was gonna hit N.O. just by watching the weather forcast the few days before it.. I remember eating dinner on sun night w/ my girlfriend in the restaurant watching CNN and saying, "you watch, that entire city's gonna be gone."

Did you post that here? All I see on the news lately is talking heads who knew exactly what would happen, but they all neglected to mention the steps that should be taken until afterward.
