Governor says entire city (New Orleans) needs to be evacuated

Too little, to late, incompetent and irresponsible b*tch!

Tens of millions of dollars will be spent just to take care of people who refused to leave even though they were ordered to leave.

I wonder where are the jailed inmates are? Anybody hear?

I sure wish we can take back all those billions of dollars that we have given to foreign nations in the last few years. We need that now. I don't see the world community exactly jumping through hoops to help us in our need.

Were is Bono? Where are all the Live Aid musicians? Where is Sarandon, Baldwin and their ilk?

I got Breaking News for you, governor. There are thousands of your "citizens" who will be hiding around corners (even dunking under the water to remain undected) just so they can stay and loot all the diamonds out of the jewelry stores once everybody else is evacuated.

The US government needs to make a harsh decision. Why rebuild New Orleans if it is under sea level? Why do we set ourselves up in traps like this? It will just happen again. We shoudl give serious consideration to just shutting tha tcity down and rebuilding in an area above sea level.

Throw those rascals out of office - Nagin, Blanco et al.

Get lost. You could only hope to be half as competent as the public officials involved with this disaster.

Gee thanks for that little contribution. I am sure it is REALLY going to help matters? I guess you have donated to the relief funds yet? Nope? Well then you have at least researched how to send aid or help people right?

I see that you are getting flamed, but I see your point.

Election to office because of gender, race, etc. as opposed to perceived competence comes back to bite you in the butt, every time.

There was time to think in the abstract, to prepare a plan based on worse possible scenario. That's what public elected officials are supposed to do. That is their job. They might have been wrong, but there needed to be some adult leadership given the geographical situation and what has been for sometime, the probable outcome if the worst happened. It was a known factor, the population would have been warned and advised what would happen if a threat showed itself.

With something like a hurricane, and all the information that is available, and with the power available to governors and local officials, there is very little wiggle room for Ms. Blanco, or the Mayor.

I do not feel sorry for the people that were too shortsighted, too ignorant, too dependent on the public teat, etc., and those types will always be with us.

There are indeed people there who needed help, and deserved help.

Yes. Sadly, yes. And now she's all teary about it.

And the Bush bashing is already starting, like he told them to stay or something.

Amen.
