On Tuesday, while New Orleans was drowning and people were dying, the most powerful man in America was strumming.

CNN's resident conservative Jack Cafferty nailed it (video here):

Cafferty: Where's President Bush? Is he still on vacation?
Blitzer: He's cut short his vacation he's coming back to Washington tomorrow.
Cafferty: Oh, that would be a good idea. He was out in San Diego I think at a Naval air station giving a speech on Japan and the war in Iraq today. Based on his approval rating, based on the latest polls, my guess is getting back to work might not be a terrible idea.

Meanwhile oil hit a record of $70.85 per barrel, drowning the economy of the rest of the nation.

Of course, we all remember where Bush was when America was attacked on 9-11, and the world changed forever.

AmericaBlog is all over this, also Think Progress.
