Are you f'ing kidding me!?
Forty-six percent of Americans approve of Bush's handling of the [hurricane Katrina] crisis, while 47 percent disapprove. That compares poorly with Bush's 91 percent approval rating for his performance in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but it's far from the broad discontent expressed by critics of the initial days of the hurricane response. (It also almost exactly matches Bush's overall job approval rating, 45 percent, in an ABC/Post poll a week ago.)
Similarly, 48 percent give a positive rating to the federal government's response overall, compared with 51 percent who rate it negatively - another split view, not a broadly critical one.
::blink::
Seriously, WTF??
Clearly, these people did not see last night's Daily Show or read TPM's timeline:
Thursday, September 1:
# At 7 AM, President Bush appears on ABC News' Good Morning America. Diane Sawyer asks the President, "what's taking so long?" after telling Bush that "some of the things they have asked our correspondents to ask you is, they expected, they say to us, that the day after this hurricane that there would be a massive and visible armada of Federal support." Bush responds by noting that "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees. They did anticipate a serious storm."
I say again -- WTF???
