A Fox news poll....................................

It is not a Fox News poll, if that matters. It is a Fox News article. I heard about the poll on the radio on the way to work today.

Me, I do not fault Obama in terms of the general disaster response. I do fault him for declaring a moratorium on deepwater offshore drilling. By doing that, he made an already bad situation much worse. Bush didn't do anything like that.

A Fox news poll....................................

The poll was conducted by "Public Policy Polling," a Democrat polling firm.

Among other findings, the poll determined that "...Louisianans believe that President George W. Bush did a better job handling the crisis in the state than President Obama, 50 to 35..."

People kept dying on Bush's watch.......and the oil keeps flowing on Obama's watch.

Bush should shoulder the blame for allowing fellow Americans to suffer and die for a longer period of time than they should have.

I don't fault Obama for not stopping the oil leak.......I fault him for his lack of compassion for those suffering in the Gulf region and lack of action in holding BP accountable. He's an intellectual pussy.

They both sucked, and Obama keeps sucking.

Look, BO's got Katrina as a case study in what NOT to do wrt disaster response, and yet he's making all the same mistakes Bush made, notably in dragging his feet in responding. He's compounding the issue by trying to use the spill as a catalyst for moving his climate change/"green energy" agenda, which is just pissing the hell out of everyone impacted. It's just really poor leadership, and any poll will easily reflect that.

Here is some cream for your coffee, from WIki:

President ... Bush declared a state of emergency... on Saturday, the 27th, two days before the hurricane made landfall. ...

...On Sunday, August 28, President Bush spoke with Governor Blanco to encourage her to order a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans." (Per page 235 of Special Report of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs)...

...the The United States Northern Command established Joint Task Force (JTF) Katrina ... on Sunday, August 28, with US Army Lieutenant General Russel L. Honoré as commander. Approximately 58,000 National Guard personnel were activated to deal with the storm's aftermath, with troops coming from all 50 states. The Department of Defense also activated volunteer members of the Civil Air Patrol. Michael Chertoff, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, decided to take over the federal, state, and local operations officially on August 30, 2005, citing the National Response Plan....

This was refused by Governor Blanco who indicated that her National Guard could manage...

...Perhaps the most important criticism of Nagin was that he delayed his emergency evacuation order until 19 hours before landfall, which led to hundreds of deaths of people ...

... In Texas, where more than 300,000 refugees were located, local officials ran 20,000 criminal background checks on the refugees, as well as on the relief workers helping them and people who opened up their homes. The background checks found that 45% of the refugees had a criminal record of some nature, and that 22% had a violent criminal record. The number of homicides in Houston from September 2005 through February 22, 2006 went up by 23% relative to the same period a year before; 29 of the 170 murders involved displaced Louisianans as victims or suspects. ...

...Before Hurricane Katrina, the murder rate in New Orleans was ten times higher than the U.S. average. After the situation in New Orleans was brought under control, criminal activity in New Orleans dropped significantly...

Another reason that Bush is polling better: Obama's stupid speech where he focused on pipedreams instead of cleanup activities on prime-time TV earlier this week:

Obama is dreamer in chief: He wants to take us to this green future "even if we're unsure exactly what that looks like. Even if we don't yet precisely know how we're going to get there." Here's the offer: Tax carbon, spend trillions and put government in control of the energy economy -- and he will take you he knows not where, by way of a road he knows not which.

That's why Tuesday's speech was received with such consternation. It was so untethered from reality. The gulf is gushing, and the president is talking mystery roads to unknown destinations. That passes for vision, and vision is Obama's thing. It sure beats cleaning up beaches.
