He signed the orders declaring the states eligible for Federal disaster
aid the week before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast.

When did he personally inspect the area?

Just exactly what do you think the presidential inspection accomplishes in
REAL terms with regard to helping out and solving problems?

The President (no matter who it is) gets all the reports he/she needs to
determine the severity of the problems.

The presidential fly by is nothing more than an attempt to quiet the morons
who think that UNLESS the presidents fly over the area and sees it for
themselves, they don't care. It's the aerial equivalent of biting one's lip
and announcing that they feel your pain.

It contributes NOTHING to solving the problems. In fact it's a hideous waste
of valuable time.
