the levee projects havent been funded properly since the 60's, but the fema report that predicted total devistation in the event of a category 4+ hurricane came out in 2001, i believe

Is the levee funding state or federal?

There was a documentary done about this for Public Television about a year ago, and debuted around the same time. However, considering recent tragedies, they've been running it again. The original study was done in 2000, and released in 2001. And the project is considered under the Army Corps or Engineers, thus Federal. And since the study came out warranting more funding, each year the monies have been slashed each year. There in lies problem.

So did Clinton put money asude for the levee's? Surely this isn't a problem that started within the last five years.

Well, look at Clinton's funding for FEMA, and look at Bushes.

Yes, everything bad that happens to Bush, is somehow, even if you have to look real real hard, Clintons fault.
