Obama has failed miserably in his handling of the oil spill crisis, according to the American people: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gulf_oil_spill
That doesn't necessarily mean it's on par with how Bush handled Katrina. Just that the same % think he's handled it poorly.
http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2010/06/fallout-from-spill.html Fallout from the Spill Our new Louisiana poll has a lot of data points to show how unhappy voters in the state are with Barack Obama's handling of the oil spill but one perhaps sums it up better than anything else- a majority of voters there think George W. Bush did a better job with Katrina than Obama's done dealing with the spill. 50% of voters in the state, even including 31% of Democrats, give Bush higher marks on that question compared to 35% who pick Obama. Overall only 32% of Louisianans approve of how Obama has handled the spill to 62% who disapprove. 34% of those polled say they approved of how Bush dealt with Katrina to 58% who disapproved.
Bush's lack of response to Katrina resulted in people dying. Lets hope Obama doesn't have blood on his hands by the time this is over.
I live on the coast in North Carolina. The state and various organizations are preparing for when the oil hits us. Not IF but WHEN. I just can't get my head around how huge this thing is...
