Maybe .... but that is the appearance being presented to the majority of Americans. Again, ALL levels of the government FAILED. The President himself admitted the results were unacceptable. Again it is clear the FEDs were expecting NO to be destroyed .... the Federal response to an entire city being destroyed was wrong.

I believe that the president was trying to just get the job done and not point fingers. However, there is something seriously wrong with NO and LA leadership.

They (local state and city/county government) seemed no have no plan at all. How is that possible? Good gosh they have a nuclear plant within 25 miles of that city. They have some of the biggest nastiest chemical plants in the nation within 10 to 25 miles. As taxpayers we have given these bozo's 10's maybe 100's of millions of dollars to develop ER plans and purchase equipment. To blame the president or FEMA, at this point, for any of this is just plain wrong. Mainly because it too early to judge their efforts

Just maybe it hasn't been adequately explain to the majority of American how vulnerable they are because of malfeasance of state and local governments.

Just maybe if people knew who was suppose to do what and when they would think a little bit before they cast a vote in the next election for mayor, governor or even sheriff.
