Obama's Katrina

I was reading J. Watland's story in The Eleventh Draft entitled What Obama's Katrina Means and enjoying his writing, as always. He writes of Karl Rove responding to this question in the Wall Street Journal.

It dawned suddenly on me that the Deepwater Horizon thing could only actually be Obama's Katrina if some of the drilling crew had been stranded on the rig for a week or so before anyone came to rescue them.

Furthermore, what Rove says is of no interest.
I was an observer:

My father was in an isolation ward in the hospital, suffering from pneumonia, although at first the med staff thought it was some tropical disease. (! true);

I gassed up the evening before the storm, figuring the price of gas would skyrocket after Katrina landed;

I went to the hospital later and watched the storm approach;

I watched for four long days afterwards as people waited for rescue: I watched Shepard Smith and Geraldo Rivera lacerate their comfortable fellows back in the studio - wondering when some bottles of water might be dropped by the Super Dome;

I actually said to myself, "By heavens, they are going to let them die there !"

That's what a Katrina is, not what Karl Rove speaks about.
