question:
Bush should have fired both men . 
There 's been a lot of talk lately about George W. Bush 's legacy in Iraq , and what it means for his brother Jeb 's hopes of following him to the Oval Office . 
When he was first elected , in 2000 , Bush 's rough-and-ready demeanor had a Harry Truman cast . 
Bush 's incompetence was ultimately responsible for the ineffective federal response from August 29 to September 2 . 
Bush , furthermore , embarrassed himself by flying down to the Gulf and claiming that "Brownie" was doing "a heck of a job ." 
The national media rightly ripped into Bush like never before . 
More than any other event of his White House tenure , Bush 's slow response to Katrina made Americans ask if he was a "bunker" commander , relying too much on cautious paper pushers such as FEMA 's Michael Brown and Homeland Security 's Michael Chertoff . 
After the attacks on the United States on September 11 , 2001 , Bush was virtually unseen during the first 11 hours , making only brief statements and effectively ceding the public leadership role in the crisis to New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani . 
Politically , Bush was wounded , never to fully recover , his standing made all the worse as the economy tanked in 2008 . 
Just as New Orleans 's levee system catastrophically failed to work -LRB- breaking in about 50 places -RRB- Bush had catastrophically failed to save lives . 
Bush chose to fly over New Orleans in Air Force One instead of doing an on-the-ground inspection -- a clear sign of aloofness , indeed , of fear . 
Even George W. Bush 's most stalwart supporters cringed at his disconnect from reality . 
Bush , like Michael Jackson in his days at Neverland Ranch , was living in a bubble . 
Bush was , quite simply -- as Coast Guard first-responder Jimmy Duckworth phrased it -- "out of the game ." 
Instead , Bush monitored developments mostly from afar . 
On the 10th anniversary of Katrina , with the advantage of hindsight , it 's clear that Bush 's lack of leadership in late summer of 2005 cost his presidency mightily . 
Unlike Ronald Reagan , after the Challenger explosion , or Bill Clinton , after the Oklahoma City bombing , Bush had failed to feel the profound implications of the moment as his predecessors had . 
But Bush -- a private man by nature -- was never a particularly accessible president or an outwardly sensitive one . 
Instead , Bush acted as though he were disinterested in the natural disaster . 
No matter how the Bush library in Dallas tries to spin Bush 's Katrina performance , we all know he deserved an F in crisis management .
answer:
George W Bush


question:
Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . 
In the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . 
Is it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? 
Or do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? 
Cruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . 
Lee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . 
In his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him "more courageously or indispensably" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . 
When Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . 
Cruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . 
Cruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . 
Essentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . 
Lee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . 
Lee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . 
The bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . 
Today , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . 
And while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . 
Another telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . 
As McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . 
To Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . 
Cruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . 
At a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . 
When he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . 
In my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . 
As Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : "You just do n't do that . 
Another criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . 
Cruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . 
In Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . 
But a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . 
But the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . 
You can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . 
But what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? 
The Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . 
Carpenter said Cruz had sent a message . 
Cruz has shown that one person can make a difference ." 
But as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .
answer:
Ted Cruz


question:
“She was a loving daughter  sister  mother  friend — and though she didn’t ask to be an activist  she responded to the personal tragedy of seeing her father die while being arrested in New York City by becoming a leading proponent for criminal justice reform and for an end to police brutality ” said Sanders. “I had the honor of getting to know  Erica  and I was inspired by the commitment  she  made working toward a more just world for  her  children and future generations.  She  was a fighter for justice and will not be forgotten.  Jane  and I send our deepest condolences to the entire Garner family and to all those  she  has impacted.”
Garner  who had recently given birth to a second child  endorsed Sanders for president before the New York primary in April 2016. In a video released at the time   Garner  told the story of how her father died after being placed in a police chokehold  and she praised Sanders for taking the Black Lives Matter movement seriously.
“People are dying. This is real. This is not TV ” said  Garner . “We need a president who’s going to talk about it.”
 Garner ’s endorsement was one of the highest-profile interactions between the Black Lives Matter movement and the Democratic Party — a discussion  often heated  that was rarely echoed in the Republican primaries.
answer:

Sanders Erica Garner
