I believe it was JFK who-- after being sworn in and brief by the
outgoing President's cabinet -- commented, to the effect that if he
hadn't heard it himself, he would have never believed just how little
"real power" the American President truly has.
Interesting logic. Allow me to summarise:
1. Presidents are not all-powerful
2. I know this because I know someone who worked for JFK, and Kennedy once
screwed up over lighting a fire in a White House fireplace. And got into
the Missile Crisis, too.
3. Therefore, there is nothing that George W. Bush could have done to help
New Orleans.

Non-sequitur. George W. Bush could put pressure, and with the help of
Congress, Federal Funding, on Louisiana to enable the construction of
appropriate hurricane friendly homes in New Orleans.
Or something like that. I don't know exactly how US government works.

You mean the place where Church of England Bishops can sit, and vote on
legislation? Wouldn't you like a political chamber, where the likes of
William Clinton and George H. W. Bush, can pursue their political
careers, without anyone paying any attention?
Americans often make this mistake. They think because they believe their
country is the greatest nation of earth, the people of other countries
must think the same, about their own countries.
In a way, you're right. We do think the same as you. We believe the US
is the greatest nation of earth.

I for one am working on a hurricane friendly home, though I'd prefer it if
those nasty 'canes kept their distance. Yes that's it. Friendly at a
distance, hostile up close.
My home will be hostile to hurricanes up close and to any church idiots who
come knocking on Saturday morning...
