Your original post implied a causality between supposedly reduced funding for this work during the Bush administration to what is happening there now.
The very quote you supplied says "had flood-control efforts been fully funded over the years". They've been working on this since 1965. "Over the years" means over the last 40 years. You can't point to the last 4 (which just happen to coincide with the term of a Pres you don't like) and claim that's the reason.
I'm curious what % of requested funding these projects were given over the last 40 years. My guess is that the current administration is little different from the rest. Plenty of blame to go around if that's what you're looking to do.
