A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll of 609 adults taken September 5-6 shows:

Blame Game -- 13% said George W. Bush is "most responsible for the problems in New Orleans after the hurricane"; 18% said "federal agencies"; 25% said "state and local officials"; 38% said "no one is to blame"; 6% had no opinion. -- 29% said that "top officials in the federal agencies responsible for handling emergencies should be fired"; 63% said they should not; 8% had no opinion.

Developing...

There are many people, who when Bush dropped the ball, should have stepped up. I think people see this is widespread negligence.

CNN themselves said they didn't think the Poll was particularly enlightening. It included no people from the south.

"most responsible for the problems in New Orleans ..."

I wonder if "Katrina" was a choice of answers

Yeah, how come more people aren't angry at Bush's pro-Hurricane policy? :rolleyes:

Nice attempt to sidestep Bush's incompetence.

You cant blame everything on him, even when mother nature is the cause of this mess.

You are too predictable.

The problem is it worked too well. You know before Katrina, Category 4 hurricanes didnt exist.

It was the steering mechanism. Someone forgot to tell the guards not to let Ted Kennedy at the controls when he's been drinking.
