Pardon me? The World Trade Center bombings were under the Bush administration. They have done almost nothing to combat terror abroad since. Maybe they created more cops at home to make us feel safe, but according to him he "doesn't care where [Osama] is". We left him cornered and turned him over to local warlords to go annex Iraq. What had Iraq done to us? Nothing. They had never killed an American noncombatant citizen, attacked America, or threatened to attack America.
Local authorities requested assistance two days before Katrina hit. It was the feds responsibility. And it was Bush, mind you, not the governor of Louisiana, that sent half the Louisiana National Guard's high water vehicles to Iraq.

You are utterly and completely wrong about the world trade center bombings, the first were under Clinton, this just shows how smart people like you are.

On February 26, 1993 at 12:17 PM, a Ryder truck filled with 1,500 pounds (682 kilograms) of explosives was planted by terrorists and detonated in the underground garage of the north tower, opening a 30m hole through 4 sublevels of concrete. Six people were killed and over a thousand injured.
Six Islamist extremist conspirators were convicted of the crime in 1997 and 1998 and given prison sentences of 240 years each. According to a presiding judge, the conspirators chief aim at the time of the attack was to de-stabilize the north tower and send it crashing into the south tower, toppling both landmarks.
To commemorate the bombing of the tower, a reflecting pool was installed with the names of those who had been killed in the blast. Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, relief workers found a single fractured piece of this fountain; to date it is the only remaining part of the 1993 memorial that survived the collapse of the towers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_CenterLocal authorities eh? So if you were a cop and requested assistance from the national government do you honestly think they will hear your cry? It takes the states represenatives, govener, major, those types of people to get the message sent. You don't know much about how our government works do you?
