Do you actually mean this or are you making things up?

Also this article seems to believe that Mr. Bush can snap hurricanes into existence. Or the aftermath is his sole responsibility.

Bush appointed a man with no emergency management experience to the post of FEMA Director, an agency that failed to deal with the Katrina situation. Surely this act of gross incompetence makes him somewhat responsible for the aftermath.

Nowhere does it say that Bush has sole responsibility. The article is is an assessment of Bush's management, a comparison of two situations - 2000 and 2008. His management role in Katrina was to ensure that the government agencies were capable of response. They were not. His most personal involvement with FEMA was the naming of Michael Brown, a man with no experience of emergency management. Bush's role in this episode was a failure.
