A Third Of Louisiana Republicans Blame Obama For Hurricane Katrina Response Under Bush
A large number of Louisiana Republicans think President Barack Obama is to blame for the federal government's poor response to Hurricane Katrina, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey released Wednesday -- despite the fact that the storm occurred three years before he took office.
The Democratic-leaning polling firm, which provided its results to Talking Points Memo, found that 29 percent of Louisiana Republicans said Obama was responsible for the Katrina response. Twenty-eight percent put the blame on President George W. Bush, whose administration did in fact oversee the federal response to Katrina. Nearly half (44 percent) of the Louisiana Republicans polled didn't know who to blame.

We all smirk at the inability of Republicans to accep reality as it is (I'm having a little fun with some of the derangemeaux over on the Conservative boards, aka "the board where facts need not intrude"). But this one takes the cake.
It's one thing to debate whether a particular economic policy is better than another, but nearly 2/3 of Republicans don't/can't admit that Katrina happened in 2005, and Obama wasn't inaugurated until 2009?
This is beyond frightening. If the education system is so bad today in some States, what does this say about the education system when these voting age Republicans were in it back when?
