Everything is relative, and without any sort of basis for comparison, it sounds like the last line ("Bush was a disappointment") is informing everything before it, instead of the other way around.

It was slow in comparison to what would be an appropriate reaction to ANY national disaster. And that isn't even going into the role the failure of the levees (thanks, Army COE!) played in that. My point is Bush has nerve acting indignant that his administration has been criticized for their handling of Katrina. If it makes you feel any better, I think democrat Ray Nagin blew it on a city level, too.
I only commented on that part of the press conference because I saw that part.
As for the disappointment - that is a general observation about his entire two terms. I voted for him the first time, didn't the second. I expected much better from him, and am afraid he was not able to rise to the office.
