The social issues, as in any presidency in the United States, remained abundant in that of President George W. Bush. One extremely significant issue occurring in the United States during the presidency of George W. Bush, was the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina to this day is considered one the the most major, and the most deadly hurricanes within the United States. It was the largest and 3rd strongest hurricane in all of history. Katrina impacted over 90,000 square miles in New Orleans Louisiana in 2005. There were an estimate 1,836 people who were killed by this monstrous hurricane, and millions more were left homeless in Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast. Hurricane Katrina initially began in the Bahama's, and by the time it reached Florida, it was already a moderate category one hurricane, and passed over Florida simply as a tropical storm. However, once Katrina hit the water again, it gained an enormous amount of strength. The impacts of Hurricane Katrina remained prominent in the United States for many years to come, and while the physical damage took much time, and money to clean up, the emotional damage still remains in the lives of many of those affected, and by those who lost their loved ones.
While it remained such a major point in the presidency of George W. Bush, his response did not seem to suffice for American as that the perorations, and relief in effort was very unsatisfactory.

"It's important to promote a culture of life. A hospitable society is a society where every being counts and every person matters. The ideal world is one in which every child is protected in law and welcomed to life. I understand there's great differences on this issue of abortion, but I believe reasonable people can come together and put good law in place that will help reduce the number of abortions. Take, for example, the ban on partial birth abortion. It's a brutal practice. People from both political parties came together in the halls of Congress and voted overwhelmingly to ban that practice. It made a lot of sense. What I'm saying is, is that as we promote life and promote a culture of life, surely there are ways we can work together to reduce the number of abortions: continue to promote adoption laws-it's a great alternative to abortion-continue to fund and promote maternity group homes; I will continue to promote abstinence programs." - George w bush
