Killed 307 people in Britain more than 50 years ago. Sea defences and other protective measures have come on a bit since then.

Cronyism is hardly anything new, response to Katrina - how many Americans died? More died in the UK weather storm that hit the east coast of England (I think the body count was over 2,000, a lot more than Katrina). The people had every opportunity to vote out the President, and hence the VP in the last election, instead a majority voted to keep the President (and by default) the VP in power. So again, I ask what has GW done that places him in the category, "The Worst President in History".

Just because it did not happen in our life time doesn't mean it did not happen, we are talking about "The Worst President in History".

I think that covers it!
