You REALLY don't get it do you? If FEMA did such a lousy job, why then was the ONLY relief that ANYONE in N.O. got FEDERAL RELIEF! WHY?

WHY did the democrat dominated State and local governments fail to do ANYTHING correctly, before, during, or after the storm?

WHY did blanco not accept Bush's offers of Federal help, THREE DAYS before the storm hit, like the Governor's of MS and AB did?

WHY did nagin totally disregard his own cities plan to use transit and school busses to get people without transportation out of town?

WHY did mayor nagin totally disregard the FEMA natural disaster manual, which outlines evacuating nursing homes, hospitals, and others, not using FEMA's manual in the leasdtt! WHY did the LA. DOHS deny access to N.O. to the Red Cross AND The Salvation Army, then blame it on the Feds when it was their decision?

WHY did mayor nagin empty the convicted felons from the jails, to the streets, creating in one fell swoop the worst looting disaster in American history, then blame the National Guard?

WHY did nagin fill up the Super Dome and the Coliseum with over 50,000 low income people, making NO provisions for them for a day, much less three, placing the burden to feed them directly on the National Guard before the storm even hit?

WHY was nagin using federal funds for a marina and gambling boats, not for improving the levee system?

WHY didn't Governor Blanco use the TENS OF MILLIONS of federally offered funds to use on the levee system, and never even applied for any matching funds for the little bit the State did do? Do you have answers for any of that? Because all of that squarely sits on the corrupt democrat dominated LA government. Face it. The left side of the aisle failed miserably, and as usual, it was Conservatives and the U.S. military that has to come in and do it right and fix their screw ups. I'll tell you one thing. New England and California are lucky they don't get hurricanes, or we'd get to see how screwed up their governments are some day.

FEMA did such a great job with all those hurricanes in 2004, that the rabid MSM needed to reach back 12 years to drag up FEMA'S slow response to Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

That was the only way they could put the words "slow response" and "FEMA" in the same sentence.

God Bless President Bush.
