He signed the orders declaring the states eligible for Federal disaster
aid the week before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. How much earlier do you
want him to take an interest?

Whether the orders were effective soon enough is obviously open to
debate, but the Federal government did start the ball rolling before the
disaster.

There's not one thing Bush could do that could not be harshly

I doubt he would have been condemned for taking an interest in the
disaster area a few days earlier.
