"Their plan had to account for all of the people that could not evac themselves by car or plane especially in a poor city like NO. This is a huge disaster for the democrats in that state when people start looking at this."

Here is a LINK to the City of New Orleans Emergency Preparedness page titled "General Evacuation Guidelines". Check it out. It says "If you need a ride, try to go with a neighbor, friend, or relative." (scroll down to i..)

Wow - that helps a lot when a large portion of the city's poor don't have cars and use public transportation of their main means of getting around. Maybe Naign (or his replacement) will add the school busses are sitting under water to the 'plan'.

That is a great plan!(sarcasm)...ride with your neighbor who is as poor as you and does not own a car or if he does is taking his 4 children his sister and her kids and lets not forget mom. There is no room for the neighbor.

The fault still comes down to poor city and state evacuation planning that will come to light. Dems who were in charge for years deliberately and with full knowledge if the worst happened they were leaving these people to fend for themselves or die. It was their job to plan for this and they have been warned to plan for this since the 60's, this is not something that just happened, they knew it was coming.

Dems are getting their political swipes in now just like after 9-11 until facts come to light and are finally thrown in their faces making them look stupid and political in the face of a tragedy while Republicans are working to fix the problem.
