WaPo:
"It's as if the entire Gulf Coast were obliterated by the worst kind of weapon you can imagine," Bush said at another point. As he left New Orleans, Bush said: "I'm going to fly out of here in a minute, but I want you to know that I'm not going to forget what I've seen. I understand the devastation requires more than one day's attention."
That is exactly the point many of us have been worrying about. What if a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb had hit NOLA? Would the government's response have been any better? All evidence points to "no." What does Bush do? Flies in for a photo-op to make like Jesus, kissing victims' foreheads, and then gets out of there as soon as he can turn tail. Now he understands. Now, 5 days after Katrina hit. Condoleeza Rice told us that we cannot wait for that smoking gun to show itself, because it would be too late at that point. Well after 4 years that gun showed itself and Bush was caught on vacation with his nose next to a line of blow.
Bush's actions speak louder than his words and they betray his true personality.
