And it took a Republican President ( President Bush ) to tell them to get off of their butts ( the mayor of New Orleans, and the Governor of Louisiana ) to give orders to evacuate, while they ( mayor of N.O. and the gov of LA ) were dragging their feet to decide in whether they should evacuate or not because they were afraid that they would get sued if the evacuation was not necessary.

Absolutely-- I think that when all the dust settles ( the floodwaters receed? ) and the spinning stops, the President will look very good, indeed, and all these weasels carping and sniping and criticizing will look like the clowns they are. At least I hope so.

We have children on the Gulf. Everytime there is a TD out there I start watching with a religous fever. I am only an ordinary citizen, not responsible for over a million people.

Looks like to me, that the Mayor should have had someone monitoring and reporting. The blame goes squarly on him, no matter how hard he tries to make it go away. What a jerk!!!!!!!!
