Reply #7: Why do you think this is a criticism of you?

[EffieBlack]

The OP directly addresses people in the media and politics, not to everyone who criticized the Obama Administration's response. It may not be an issue of politics for you, but there are plenty of people who are using this for their own political gain and who are criticizing the president, not because they really think he's not handling this right but because 1) they hope to find some way to hurt him politically and 2) they are desperately trying, after all these years, to reshape and repair Bush's legacy by making it seem as if his abysmal response in Katrina was comparable in some way to Obama's response to the oil disaster and therefore not so bad after all.

I don't think this is about you at all.
