During the Bush administration, they blamed EVERYTHING on Clinton, and by the second term, people were pretty sick of it.
Then Katrina came along, and the administration’s response was appallingly terrible, and they were getting called out from every direction.
Finally they tried to blame Clinton for the response somehow, after Bush was into his second term, and the people weren’t having it. It was the final straw. The response was so negative, that if Katrina had happened during his first term, there is no way he would have been reelected.
They couldn’t blame Clinton after that, and the Bush legacy became that the corruption, negligence, and incompetence of the Bush administration led to the avoidable deaths of over 10,000 Americans (and countless foreign nationals), and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
