HE never recovered?!
Ex-aides say Bush never recovered from KatrinaWASHINGTON – Hurricane Katrina not only pulverized the Gulf Coast in 2005, it knocked the bully pulpit out from under President George W. Bush, according to two former advisers who spoke candidly about the political impact of the government's poor handling of the natural disaster.
"Katrina to me was the tipping point," said Matthew Dowd, Bush's pollster and chief strategist for the 2004 presidential campaign. "The president broke his bond with the public. Once that bond was broken, he no longer had the capacity to talk to the American public. State of the Union addresses? It didn't matter. Legislative initiatives? It didn't matter. P.R.? It didn't matter. Travel? It didn't matter."
Dan Bartlett, former White House communications director and later counselor to the president, said: "Politically, it was the final nail in the coffin."

My heart bleeds for the little shit that stayed on vacation while New Orleans was flooded. He easily could have made this a victory for himself, but he wanted to f'k off instead, like usual.
New Orleans is still trying to recover from this heartles bastard's inactions.
He makes me wish there was a hell so he could rot in it for all the harm he did to our country and the world...
