Former President George W. Bush called the infamous picture that was taken of him in Air Force One as it flew over a devastated New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina a “huge mistake.”
In an interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer that will air on Monday night, Bush scolded himself for the allowing the photo to be taken and released to the press.
Bush agreed with Lauer’s assertion that the photo made him look “out of touch.”
“Detached and uncaring,” Bush added. “No question about it.” The two-term Republican, whose memoir entitled, “Decision Points” hits stores next week, took responsibility for the public’s dismal perception of how he handled the disaster, and explained to Lauer what he should have done differently.
