RE: In fact, I don't recall hearing ANY Louisiana officials willing to step up to the plate and tell people to evacuate. It finally took the President to lean on the mayor and governor to do something. Even then, they still had a wishy-washy attitude.
I didn't hear this! Is there a link?

Sick stuff. The President of the USA had to become DADDY to the senators of Louisiana, the Governor and the MAYOR of NO.
These state officials delayed and DELAYED warning their people out of a fear of backlash if the storm missed um and they had all had to leave their homes for NOTHING!
Oh yeah.
And Senator Landrieau had the GALL to go on TV just moments ago and BLAME the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT for not taking care of HER PEOPLE in the NO AREA.
This woman IS A PART OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Where was SHE over the past few days....out and mayor and holding press conferences in order to WARN their people? HELL NO!
Like our President, she and ALL congressfolk and senators are on a FULL MONTH OF VACATION....what was she doing yesterday and today......preparing her statement to blame President Bush? While she is doing NOTHING to help the people in her state prepare for this disaster ?????
She is not a grown up .... she does not care about the safety of the people in her state.....she waited for DADDY to have to ORDER the Governor and mayor to ORDER an EVACUATION...
This is the height of irresponsibility.
This woman needs to be thrown out of office, along with the Governor and mayor....all children who care only, ONLY, about looking good. TO hell with the safety of their people.
You can find references to President Bush's evacuation order on Saturday AM..on the thread previous to this one and the one before that...this is VIII, I think, so VII and VI will have the info.
