I'm not necessarrily defending the mayor. My point is this (and it always has been). If you are going to gripe about something, offer a feasable alternative.
And you, of all people should know I am not a democrat. =)
You are not the person I was talking about -- know you are a Republican. :) I just think this Mayor was way over his head and some of his statements were moronic. Sounds like NO has had a series of really bad mayors. Wasn't impressed with the Governor either or the Sheriff this morning in the press conference.
Seemed to be no plan for this which makes no sense. Every road leading out of NO should have been one-way -- OUT!
I have a feasible alternative -- start the evacuation of New Orleans before this morning. Also make sure every main street was going one way -- OUT of the city. Make sure that people in nursing homes/hospitals were not abandoned. My list would go on and on but it would be a plan in case of a catastrophic hurricane and it would be put into action several days before not less than 24 hours before the hurricane hit.
