If it weren't for the fact that Bush's incompetence during the Katrina disaster cost people their lives, this quote would be laughable.

"I hope people don't draw conclusions from the president getting a single briefing," Bush spokesman Trent Duffy said, citing a variety of orders and disaster declarations Bush signed before the storm made landfall. "He received multiple briefings from multiple officials, and he was completely engaged at all times."

I don't see people, who lost everything in the hurricane, taking any comfort from statements like this.
