Are You Angry Yet? Part 6

We all know that the Democrat governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco, had a heck of a time getting through to President Bush (several attempts over a half-dozen hours, I've read in a couple of sources) to ask him for help. We all thought that was just the President being busy... or generally unaware.

She says that two days after Katrina, desperate for help, she couldn't get through to Bush and didn't get a callback; hours later, she tried again, and they talked.

However, we now learn about how much trouble Republican governor of Mississippi, Haley Barbour, had getting through to President Bush.

Barbour hasn't had to wait hours to talk to Bush. In fact, Barbour said in an interview with USA TODAY, the president called him three to four times in the wake of Katrina. "I never called him. He always called me," he said.

Tell me... does it sound at all like the President may have been more interested in helping out Republican Mississippi than Democratic New Orleans?

More importantly, in a time of national emergency, should there even be the slightest hint that the President of the United States is thinking Democrat/Republican instead of victim/nonvictim, or needs help / doesn't need help?

What would you call it if you found that evidence? Deliberate negligance or outright malice?

I wasn't entirely sure before Katrina, but I am beginning to believe that George W. Bush will go down in history as America's Worst President. What bugs me most is that 50.8% of Americans felt they needed 4 more years of this guy before they could be entirely certain.
