I agree! But, even in light of the fact that it's not the president who personally directs most of the relief effort it is, I believe, important for him to be available immediately after a disaster and hold a press conference to assure people that everything possible will be done and then to kick some asses to get things going and, finally, get down to the area and make an appearance. I think any other president would have done this and Bush certainly did not.
Compare what Bush did to the way Tony Blair handled the 7/7 London bombings or the way that Roosevelt handled the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. Hell, compare this to even GW after 9/11.
