I didn't say it was all wrong. Go get a dictionary, and look up the
words "most" and "all."

So what parts were right, in your view?

That there was a hurricane, with a lot of destruction, and that some
people died and many were left homeless.

So in other words, kind of like, oh, maybe, a minor little thing like a
house
falling down.

No. You're as terrible at paraphrasing as you are at English
comprehension.

And of course, Bush responded admirably to it, right?

It wasn't Bush's job to respond to it.

Sure it was. It was a national disaster, and he's the president.

The federal government didn't
do that great a job, but it rarely does, federal government being what
it always is. It certainly didn't anticipate how completely
incompetent the local government would be, though perhaps it should
have.
FEMA was supposed to manage emergencies. That's its name.
