The reasoning of a Democrat is this: The Feds are all powerful and bureaucracy got in the way of saving lives. The National Guard were waiting for someone to tell them to act and did not ask anything about their orders because they had no interest. President Bush had the power and resources the locals did not and he did not act because he does not like blacks. How do I know all of this? Because I heard it on Nightline.

As a NYer, and even though this is liberal lala land, it is composed of the useful idiots (i.e. limosine liberals)... not so much the "liberal exploited" as you see in New Orleans.

I am shocked at the poverty down there and the total lack of personal responsibility on the part of people. Sure NY has poverty problems but NY's "ghettos" are in the past 10 years or so overwhelmingly populated by hard-working latin america/carribean immigrants.

We are finally seeing the truth- that LBJ ruined generations of people.
