“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives.

While others are fact checking it, my initial reaction was pretty blah. I can't say this inspired me to great things, and while talking heads seemed to like what Bush had to offer, Rita Cosby on MSNBC noted that those standing around her who were affected by the storm were skeptical at best.

I couldn't help but think to myself that the same guy who has screwed up Iraq is now in charge of New Orleans. It did not make me feel good.
