Bush bungled Katrina crisis, say Britons
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1775072,00.html

AN overwhelming majority of Britons believe that President George W Bush has mismanaged the response to Hurricane Katrina, a Sunday Times poll has found.

Fully 86% of people said his handling of the crisis was “bad” or “very bad”, while 70% said he was a generally incompetent president.

By almost three to one, 63% to 23%, people think the response to the hurricane would have been speedier and more effective if most victims had been white and middle class. By 67% to 19% they think race and class divisions in America are as bad as ever.

The poll of a representative sample of 1,856 adults, carried out on September 8-9 by YouGov, the online pollsters, is the first major test of UK public opinion on the crisis.

3. Bush bungled Katrina crisis, say the ENTIRE PLANET!
It really made the USA look like the utterly classicist nation that we are, a virtual mixture of superpower and third-world conditions rolled into one.
