Blanco press conference just now:

going on and on about a "foundation she has set up for people to send money. Says today was a good day for us, we are all feeling a lot better"....Says "she thought certain people were picked up already and doesn't know why they are still there"..."has no idea of death toll", "I'll have an answer tomorrow"...I'm assuming there have been arrests of shooters"..."making transition from search and rescue to recovery", then said "will do it simultaneously"..."dome almost empty"...media is so soft with their questions, local media. She choked back tears and went on about "how many we saved". She said "people have lost faith in the system and that's why they didn't evacuate." Said "Bush told her he would give her everything she needed, she just had to ask." "The national guard will continue to answer to me". "There is a better attitude of peacefulness there". "We still have grave concerns." "um, um, um". "We will need more money than the 10 billion because that's for a lot of states."

"people have lost faith in the system and that's why they didn't evacuate."

What system, weather forecasting? That's a pretty weird statement, but then her behavior has been pretty disappointing throughout.

...foundation she has set up for people to send money. Says today was a good day for us, we are all feeling a lot better".

There is abso-lute-lee NO way I would send money directly to New Orleans. The city's corrupt reputation is infamous. (With apologies to honest New Orlean-ites everywhere.)

OMG!
She wants people to send cash to the LA Governor's trust?
Is she insane?
What the hell is she doing?
Trying to cover up the theft of funds?

Isn't she something else? I listened to one of her press conferences and she sure emphasized the need for federal money. Most of the pain and suffering is on her conscience, imo.
I thought at first that she was incredibly incompetent, but now I am beginning to think she is just evil.

"The national guard will continue to answer to me".

Hmmm, maybe this will shut up the folks who want to know why Bush isn't telling the Guard to do this or that. But probably not..

This woman needs to resign now.

I wouldn't send a dime to any foundation that woman set up. I;m glad to hear O'Reilly is going to monitor how they spend the money that is given them by the Government.
