The left won't admit it, but they have no interest in Bush "taking personal responsibility" for anything. They want his head on a charger, and will go to any lengths to achieve this, including political haymaking during a national tragedy. The hurricane was worse because he didn't sign the Kyoto Treaty. The cleanup was horribly late in starting because he was on vacation. FEMA was a "boondoggle" when applying for funding, but it's suddenly vital now that it can bolster the kill-George argument.
Some problems are much bigger, and much messier, than witch-hunting one man can solve. New Orleans illustrates a far more insidious wrong -- a failed social institution that started with FDR and sucked the life out of two generations of people. It left them with nothing but utter dependence on government for their livelihood; if the system glitches, they have fuck-all to pull them out of their mess. Just watch: thousands upon thousands of people will use this flood to forever leave the hellhole of New Orleans behind. Without a teat to hang on, they will look for work, get out of the ghetto, and raise children who don't shoot at rescue helicopters. No amount of leftwing handwringing will stop it, and it's loooong overdue.
