The storm was not worse than Katrina but it is worse than Katrina because of the people in charge. You have Snobby Mayor who thinks good PR means making people forget about it by holding marathons and concerts. You have them not wanting to call in the NG because it would look like they failed at something (bad PR?). FEMA has totally failed.
They might, MIGHT, get some MRE’s on election day, not many and it’s not a sure thing. Like the gas distribution mess, it’s all for photo-ops.
I didn’t like George W Bush all that much but at least he’d be there with a chainsaw cutting up fallen trees, handing out bottled water from a truck. I think THAT imagery would
lift a lot more spirits than an Obama photo-op on the tarmac before he went to Vegas for a $25,000 a plate fundraiser.
It doesn’t look like any of the politicians want to be seen with their sleeves rolled up and get in the gunk. I guess it’s because they fear their PR would suffer.
You have union labor turning away cheap help from the South. These folks are demented beyond repair.
