Well, it's good of you to admit that response to Katrina was "too little, too late" !!!
Now, exactly what did you want Obama to do...run down there and rescue people himself, captain a clean up boat, dive for bodies??? Let me know....
A NORMAL person would know that the oil company, Coast Guard and other entities could get there a lot faster than Obama, that they have emergency procedures in place and a PREDICTED HURRICANE is NOT the same thing as an oil rig explosion...but that's NORMAL people.

OPIC finds BP negligent with BTC Pipeline
6 February 2007
The U.S. Government Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) recommended to British Petroleum (BP) that more safety precautions are needed for the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) Pipeline, which transports oil from the Caspian Sea through Azerbaijan and Georgia to Turkey.
OPIC, which lends to and insures emerging market projects, concluded that BP needs to pay more attention to the parts of the pipeline that are buried in soil with high groundwater levels and concentrate efforts to prevent corrosion and leaks.
These recommendations have gone unheeded, and OPIC surveyed the pipeline after receiving a complaint from the Georgian environmentalist, Manana Kochladze of Green Alternative, a member of CEE Bankwatch Network. They found that a coating paint that was supposed to prevent corrosion had been ineffective. BP claims that they have tried fixing this coating, but these attempts have clearly been insufficient and unsuccessful.
Yea and countries like Russia and France offered immediate help and Bush turned them down until a week after landfall, no matter how anyone puts it, Bush failed on Katrina and he failed the people of Louisiana and Mississippi.
Once again, a state's disaster relief is handled by the governor. For instance, the governor of California declared disaster areas for several counties in California during the fires of 2008.
President Bush didn't declare it because that is not his job. Therefore, Bush did not fail with Hurricane Katrina.
People DIED during Katrina while Dubya was on vacation.
NO ONE has died during the oil spill. No comparison at all.
Pres O is on duty, Bush wasn't. But then again he never was.
