And as New Orleans marked the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina this weekend, former President George W. Bush returned to the city, prompting protests over his delayed response to the disaster at the time. One protester held a sign with a well-known photograph of Bush, days after Katrina, looking out of an airplane window at the destroyed city. The sign’s caption read, “You’re early – come back in a week.” As Bush attended a memorial event Friday at New Orleans’ Warren Easton Charter High School, protesters outside chanted, “He let New Orleans drown.” Inside the school, footage showed Bush dancing to a marching band.
