I think there is a stong impression that Mayor Nagin and Gov Blanco were really caught with their pants down and as the situation grows increasingly out of control (stranded folks at the Superdome, lots of open looting, etc.) they haven't risen to the occasion at all.

I really don't know what more they could do. It seriously looks like the catastrophic damage that was being called for had indeed happened. They are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. They need support not criticism.

No, they need better people to call the shots.
