Incompetence or Indifference?

Many Democrats would like to lay all the blame for the Katrina aftermath at Bush's feet. Many Republicans want to defend all his actions and pin the blame on the Democratic Governor of Louisiana and Mayor of New Orleans and possibly FEMA. As I've written before, there's enough blame to go around from bottom to top. However, what disturbs me is the indifference and detachment shown by the President and his circle in the initial days of the blossoming disaster. All they had to do was watch television, any channel, and they would have had a better sense of what was taking place in New Orleans. They showed interest only when public outrage forced them to. Frankly, I don't think enough was made out of the Brownie-you're-doing-a-heck-of-a-job comment. It demonstrates more than anything the good-old-boy mentality and just how unfocused our country's leader really is.
