The pictures above aren't all necessarily pointing blame at GWB, but these are all things that went on during his presidency. He
has shirked responsibility for all the events pictured above and it's fairly obvious that collectively these scandals point to a egregious lack of leadership.

I'm sorry, but that is patently false. I have friends who stayed in New Orleans through the storm and for a week afterward. For several days Nagin was the ONLY leader to step up and coordinate rescue attempts. He gave nightly radio addresses (the TV studios having been evacuated) that gave people in the city hope. The cold fact of the situation is that the federal government sat on it's hands for days while Ray Nagin (and Sean Penn incidentally) were out in boats rescuing people. You are misinformed about these events, I recommend the Frontline episode "The Storm." You can watch
the entire thing for free here.
