Everyone knew the hurricane was coming and was going to be devastating.  He should've been paying attention and demanding action.  After all, he's at the top, and the "Decider."  Of course, the local and state officials are also responsible for this travesty.  But Bush, being at the helm, could've demanded action.  Period.  I have to multitask and troubleshoot at my job even when it's not something that's in my job description.  So, it's not being 'disingenuous' to expect excellence from our elected officials, especially the President.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding something but I didn't realize that Presidents were only in charge of international relations.  So then, who's in charge of domestic agendas?
