Final thoughts on Hurricane Harvey

First off, I'm in prayer for Texas. One of my closest friends lives in Houston and thankfully she was shielded from the blast and is doing fine. Hurricanes are awful events, they are just so horrifically devastating. It's the drawback to living in the south, for sure.

I'm not seeing it yet, but for those of us all old enough to remember, Hurricane Katrina and it's aftermath was blamed on President Bush. Did they handle the hurricane perfectly? Of course not. Could they have done better? Of course? And oh yeah-did the media and the democratic party blow his response totally out of proportion? Damn straight. 

Trump is no Bush. He's much more cynical and combative. Bush always wanted to see the good in people and Trump-I am very confident he doesn't feel that way. The democrats might attack Trump for his "failures" in the response to Hurricane Harvey (even though he's done nothing to warrant that yet) but Trump will punch back with full force. I don't think Trump will allow himself to be painted as the bad guy.

It's still raining in some parts of Hurricane Harvey so no, you have no right to politicize the event yet. You also have no right to politize the event unless you've opened up your own checkbook too. Let's wait till the rain stops to grab the pitchforks.
