The gulf oil disaster is not Obama’s Katrina, but dick Cheney’s:
The gulf oil spill is no Katrina, in which 1,836 people died amid the near total devastation of one of America ’s great cities…Bonus asschenery: Not only was the oil platform in question built by Dick’s “former” company Halliburton, but the widget that would have prevented the disaster was deepsixed by Cheney during his secret meetings with his oil industry buddies at the beginning of his and Bunnypants' first term.
Unlike Katrina, there has been no obvious failures of government, no images to compare to the Superdome or the flooded streets of St. Bernard Parish. And unlike Katrina, there is an easy target for blame in the current oil spill: the oil giant BP, which by law is the “responsible party” and must pay for all of the costs of the cleanup.
