The obvious fact is that the breach was obviously a possibility but Bush, Clinton, and everyone and anyone else in positions of responsibility out there for the past 100 or so years that this problem has existed in New Orleans paid it as much attention as the people in Thailand and Sri Lanka gave to the possibility of the Tsunami...and, yes, there were the same "dire" warnings from professionals that a Tsunami would cause the devastation that it did. And it was neither Clinton's nor Bush's or any other president's responsibility or even of the federal government's responsibility to upgrade the levee system in New Orleans or any other place. That is the responsibility of the state and local governments who can request assistance from the federal government and which was given. Louisiana government neglect of the levees and then saying,(Which they aren't) that they couldn't do it because the feds needed to do it is totally irresponsible and passing the buck.
