Yes, Mr. Mayor? 'Zackly who is "we"? You're supposed to be the guy in charge - you live there.
I was watching 'Today' this morning and it was mentioned that Nagin was in Baton Rouge. He isn't even in his own city in it's time of need. Granted, he probably couldn't (or wouldn't) do much of real work if he were there, but just providing presence and a sense of civil authority being around and aware of people's situations, would be a heck of a lot better than jawboning the pols in Baton Rouge.
Well, while a speaker of the Black Caucus was on TV complaining about everything .... the other side of the screen was showing the convoys pouring into the city along with Fire Trucks all the way from Los Angeles. School buses, Trucks, Semi Trucks with boats, cars and those big air conditioned tour buses as well. Positive help but guess people would rather complain.
