Never said the President wasn't responsible. Moore is saying the
President personally was not doing anything to directly help.

Are Moore does is show his ignorance is assigning responsibilities

who retains his full authorities regardless of where he happens to
be.


It doesn't really matter whether the President has any direct
"responsibility" for the situation in New Orleans - this happened
on his watch, so he's responsible for how it's handled. He may have -
and in fact probably does - delegate _authority_ for emergency
management, but you can't delegate responsibility. (Ask any US Navy
commander - who's career often depends quite literally on the 19 year-
old that's 'driving' his ship not running into anything.)
