So am I. It's just another example of the incompetence of our current government. Be glad you do not have a Bush leading your country.

This is a tad unfair. I think it would be better to just say, "It's just another example of the incompetence of our current system."
To place ALL the blame on Bush isn't accurate. There is plenty of blame to go around. I would also argue that the particular ideology of individualism (vs. collectivism) is partly to blame. We got a very good taste of it here in the thread where many essentially suggested these people shouldn't be helped because they either chose to live in that area or because they didn't heed the evacuation notice.
While there is something to be said for Ameican "pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps" attitudes, it just isn't always pracitcal in the face of institutionalized poverty.
