PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH - VIDICATED1

FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS, FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH HAS BEEN SCAPEGOATED FOR HIS NEGLELGENCE IN THE KATRINA INCIDENT FOR FAILURE TO RESPOND IN A TIMELY MANNER. FEMA WAS, IN FACT PREPARED AND HAD GIVEN WARNING TO NEW ORLEANS AND AS WELL WAS PREPARED TO ACT IN A TIMELY RESPPONSE TO KATRINA. HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT KATRINA THAT CAUSED THE MAJOR DAMAGE IT WAS THE LEVEE'S THAT BROKE, IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT, AND AFTER KATRINA HAD PASSED--THAT NO ONE COULD HAVE FORSEEN OR EVEN PREPARE FOR LEVEES THAT BROKE AND FLOODED THE ENTIRE AREA FOR MILES AND MILES IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA. TODAY, THEIR IS STILL MUCH EVIDENCE OF FLOOD DAMAGE--NOT HURRICAN DAMAGE. FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, ALTHOUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD PROVIDED OVER 200 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THESE LEVEES, THEY WERE NEGLECTED. TO THIS DAY, THE 200 MILLIONS HAS NOT BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR. DURING THIS ENTIRE PERIOD OF NEGLECT, THE LOCAL CITY AND THE4 ENTIRE STATE HAD BEEN GOVERNED WHILE THE DEMOCRATS WERE IN CONTROL OF THE STATE, AS WELL THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS. TODAY AFTER 5 YEARS, MASSIVE REPAIRS AND ADDITIONAL CONTROLS HAVE BEEN PROVDID IN THIS MASSIVE AND COSTLY PROJUECT--A PROJECT NECESSITATED BECAUSE GROSS NEGLEGENCE OF THE DEMOCRATS, IN POWER, FAILURE TO TAKE NECESSARY STEPS TO KEEP THE LEVEE'S IN GOOD REPAIR--BUSH WAS NOT, IN ANY, MANNER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OUTCOME OF THE KATRINA INCIDENT--ONLY A DAMN FOOL COULD COME TO SUCH A CONCLUSIONG. THE MESSENGER
