Exactly right, and he has the class not to criticize them by name, when it appears that the mayor of NO is in complete mental breakdown.

A Fox reporter inferred from the president's remarks that he was angry with Mike Chertoff.
I can just imagine the pre-storm conversations
FEMA: Mr Mayor do you have your emergency plan in place?
Mayor: Yes, we do.
FEMA: Have you issued an evacuation order?
Mayor: Uh, not yet.
FEMA: Do you have emergency generation capability for the city's pumps.
Mayor: Uh, I think so.
FEMA: Do you have food and water in a secure place if NO gets flooded?
Mayor: Flooded?
FEMA: Do you have emergency command and control and communication systems in place?
Mayor: Uh, ... begins cursing at FEMA and President Bush.
The way I learned game theory, "class" isn't very helpful against cheats and crooks. "Too much class" even worse. Meanwhile the NO mayor is saying "Excuse my French - everybody in America - but I am pissed." (See thread below.)
