They just don't get it.
I was shocked the broadcast networks weren't live tonight with coverage. I was also disappointed the president didn't address the nation tonight. This is a national catastrophe.
I'm trying to be patient, but I really think he needs to get more out front on this. Whoever has been in charge to this point has fumbled badly. It's time for decisiveness and action. Listening to the mayor of NO and the governor of LA, it's clear they are not up to the task.
They indeed don't get it.
Right now, it's a damned-if-he-did, damned-if-he-didn't situation. Anything he says while still out in Crawford would be twisted by the alphabet soup into something like, "He's not really taking this seriously."
As for the over-the-air alphabet soup, I would have expected at least hourly bulletins (hard to do more than that, really).
Without electricity, there is little to see there at night.
I would not be the least bit surprised if we see a near media
blackout very soon.
