Bush cut funding for FEMA, so that he could spend more on his pet project in Iraq. Don't get me wrong, I do realize that terrorism is a real threat. But frankly, mother nature can kick our asses just as badly, and, in a case like this, far more than terrorism ever has.
Personally, I find it horribly disheartening that everyone is acting as if he's a damned savior because he had the intelligence to cut his five-week long vacation short for this. He'd damn well better have cut it short, one of the major cities in the country he governs--as well as one of the largest ports in the world, is under water. This isn't a time for vacations, this is a time for action.
