So Much for Respect

It's not surprising www.whitehouse.gov was turned over to President Obama the minute he became President.

This sort of post-campaign sort Bush-bashing is surprising to me.

This is one of the first items posted on Obama's presidential website.

"President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans... President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration's 'unconscionable ineptitude' in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims."

"Broken promises"? "Unconscionable ineptitute"? Seems petty after that big speech about coming together.
