Keeping things in perspective

Bloomberg covers the president's upcoming State of the Union address. In it, Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama offers some fascinating commentary:

"When Bush is focused, he can give candidates a big boost," [Sessions] says. "Hurricane Katrina hit him hard and it got him off-message. But he can still draw a crowd, he's good on the stump and he can re-energize the coalition that got him 51 percent of the vote" in 2004.

With all due respect (I know politicking is hard work), I don't really think that the President was the one hit hard by Katrina.
