Accountability
After royally fucking up, Bush is now blaming the Republican Congress for the continued Katrina incompetence of his misadministration.
President Bush, on a Gulf Coast inspection tour, bluntly accused Congress on Wednesday of underfunding the repairs and called for speedy action to make good on federal commitments.
The president said Congress has been slow to provide funding to rebuild housing destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and, while pledging to make New Orleans's levees "equal or better than they were before" the storm, attacked a congressional decision last year to redirect $1.5 billion from his request to repair the region's flood-protection system to projects in other storm-affected states.

I don't think anyone anticipated that Bush would blame his own party for underfunding the repair of the levees.
