CNN's Campbell Brown weighs in on President Bush's final briefing in which he defended the response to Hurricane Katrina.

The story

Much of President Bush's news conference today was a defense of the many controversial decisions of his presidency, it was also reflective, with the president showing a willingness to admit and talk about the serious mistakes made by this administration.

But on one topic in particular, he seemed almost entirely disconnected from what really happened: Hurricane Katrina. As someone who spent many days in New Orleans, Louisiana, after Hurricane Katrina, I was taken aback listening to the president talk about the government's response.

1. Wow! If you read the link she pretty much let's him have it.

Too much of Katrina was experienced by the public on TV for anyone to ever downplay the horror that we all lived vicariously. THe Bush administration failed more miserably than anyone could have imagined possible and no one is going to buy into a sunny retrospective.

The entire country has Katrina PTSD.

2. Good for her...

Slamming Bush for Katrina when everyone else gives him a pass. Kudos.

3. Funny how they're all changing their tune...

I wonder what her husband is doing, since he left the administration.
