a) he passed the no child left behind act
b) the republicans mishandled the second election
c) the government responded poorly to hurricane katrina
d) his administration failed to reform the health care system

The correct answer is C. President George W. Bush was criticized during his second term because the government responded poorly to hurricane Katrina.

As the actual extent of the disaster in New Orleans was quantified, critics accused Bush of misrepresenting his government's role by seeing a wrong response in his reaction. Bush was attacked for having promoted seemingly incompetent leaders to positions of power within FEMA, especially Michael D. Brown, and was accused of limiting the federal response to the Iraq War, and that Bush himself had not responded to flood warnings. Bush responded to growing criticism by accepting full responsibility for the failures of the federal government in handling the emergency, and it has been argued that after Katrina, the presidency of Bush had a political turning point from which would never recover.
