The reaction of a true leader

This Newsweek article confirmed my opinion that Bush is one of the worst, if not the worst President, ever. We are so unlucky to have him as our Commander in Chief. A monkey would do a better job.

Just read this paragraph:
In September 1965, a massive hurricane hit New Orleans. By the next day the president - a Texan in a time of war - was in the city, visiting a shelter. With no electricity in the darkness there, Lyndon Baines Johnson held a flashlight to his face and proclaimed, "This is the president of the United States and I'm here to help you!"
And now this:
Almost precisely 40 years later, when another horrific hurricane hit the city, the president was, again, a Texan in wartime. But rather than hurry to New Orleans from his Texas ranch, George W. Bush decided, three days after Katrina hit, to fly back to Washington first.
See, just about anyone would be better than Bush. Johnson sprung into action, visited the people hit by the storm, and reassured them. Bush stayed on vacation, visited the area five days after the storm hit, took highly staged pictures, and still struggles on how to respond to the crisis.

Worst president ever.
