About the VP - he was on vacation too. Isn't that incredibly stupid? The President and Vice President should NEVER both be on vacatrion at the same time. Both also said they didn't want to cut their vacations short to get back to Washington to prepare for this emergency.

And as for blaming Bush, he's up and admitted that he is to blame for the lack of response on a federal level, so those of us who held it against him weren't being unreasonable.
