George W. Bush's decision to personally lead an investigation into the federal response to Hurricane Katrina has sparked significant controversy. Critics argue that this move represents a conflict of interest, as it allows him to oversee a probe into his own administration's actions without the independence of an external commission. Many express skepticism about the investigation's integrity, predicting it will absolve Bush and his appointees of responsibility while placing blame elsewhere. The discussion highlights Bush's continued support for FEMA and its head, Michael Brown, despite widespread criticism of their performance. The administration's attempts to manage public perception and spin the narrative are also noted, with some participants questioning why the American public seems to accept such actions without protest. Suggestions for a more credible investigation include involving independent experts from various backgrounds, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability. Overall, the thread reflects deep dissatisfaction with Bush's leadership and the handling of the disaster response.

Well Georgie's little ploy didn't work. Within the day his announcement to oversee a probe was criticized and other investigations are to take place. This Katrina disaster isn't giving him the camouflage that 9-11 did, and now his ratings are such that he is exposed to scrutiny. Perhaps what comes around goes around, eh?
