President Bush responded quickly to the New Orleans crisis !
http://www.wwltv.com/local/stories/WWL083105lawless.1242410b.html

<snip>

New Orleans' homeland security chief, Terry Ebbert, said looters were breaking into stores all over town and stealing guns. He said there are gangs of armed men moving around the city. At one point, officers stranded on the roof of a hotel were fired at by criminals on the street.

The Times-Picayune newspaper reported that the gun section at a new Wal-Mart had been cleaned out by looters.

Authorities said an officer was shot in the head and a looter was wounded in a shootout. The officer and looter were expected to survive.

2. Bush takes command
I just about sprayed my lemonade this afternoon when I heard Wolf Blitzer proclaim that "President Bush was flying back to Washington to take command of the situation."

Take command, my ass.
