The damage from Katrina was widespread, from Texas to Florida. The storm had passed NO without too much damage. The damage in NOLA was due to the breaking levy.
And the lionshare of people that died were the ones who refused to leave in the face of a sufficient warning.
New Orleans was not the only place devastated by Katrina! You can't compare New Orleans alone to all the homes in New York state - that's not comparing apples to apples.
So I guess he's admitting that the Bush administration was far better equipped to handle the disaster than Obama's?
I'm thinking that you're confused as regards the role of the branches of government, and from which branch appropriations originate and/or are approved.

Not confused at all. We're either talking apples and apples, or apples and oranges. Which is it?
Obviously Sen. Reid is too stupid to hold public office.
Comparing the category 1 hurricane remnant that hit the northeast with a category 5 hurricane that hit the Gulf States is absurd on its face, but to suggest Sandy was worse than Katrina is beyond stupid.
It is only worse because the real estate in the northeast is worth more than the real estate in Lousiana. How do you compare NJ boardwalk with a bunch of New Orleans slums?
There were 1,833 deaths in Katrina vs. at least 125 in Sandy. I thought liberals were the compassionate ones?
No one said that. What was being talked about by Reid and others in this thread was about the aid and $$ for recovery. The aid in the aftermath of Katrina was overwhelmingly passed by both Houses of Congress right after the storm. The aid after Sandy does not have the same overwhelming by-partisan support and has been held up, reduced and split into two parts by Republicans in the House
