Criticism of Bush mounts

Guardian reported George Bush arrived last night in the ravaged Gulf coast region amid mounting criticism of his handling of the crisis and a prediction by one senator that the death toll in Louisiana alone could top 10,000 people.

Why blame Bush for the deaths? I think the Hurricane was responsible for most of them, and the New Orleans police were totally ineffective at controlling the gangs that ignored the evacuation notices and stayed to loot and kill innocent people to establish their control over particular areas. If they are complaining about the speed Bush tried to help, he declared Louisiana a disaster area on 8/29, before Katrina hit land. And Mayor Ray Nagin and Governor Kathleen Blanco were a lot more responsible for things the first few days. Her letter to George Bush requesting assistance was on September 2, two days after the levee breach, and the same day the convoy arrived, and Bush signed the $10.5 billion aid package.
