Isn't that the truth. Why is it not obvious that the local leadership in these other areas was far superior to that of NOLA?
Once again in their hatred they could not be more incorrect.
Because people who prefer to criticize don't WANT it to be obvious. They're PURPOSELY fogging the scope of the entire disaster by concentrating on only one part of teh situation in NO. It's pretty telling that they ignore that rescuers and looters are being fired on.
As for FEMA, I doubt it ever occurred to them in their worst case scenario that they'd face house to house fighting in the streets of New Orleans just to evacuate survivors, feed, clothe and treat them. But that's just IMO. Nobody's pointed that out yet.
