The MSM is totally out for blood. This proves the opposite of their freeking title of the article.

Somehow the WH putting out the timeline for the runup to the hurricane is "shifting blame".

There you go. They've come full circle. First it was, "Bush was asleep at the switch and didn't do enough early on." Now it's, "Bush tried to take control too soon due to political motivations."

Only the psychotic left could pull this dog and pony show and think they could get away with it.

Just when I thought they couldn't go any lower. How many times have I had to say that?

State authorities suspected a political motive behind the request. "Quite frankly, if they'd been able to pull off taking it away from the locals, they then could have blamed everything on the locals," said the source, who is an adviser and does not have the authority to speak publicly.

It's finally happened. The 'Hate Bush' mentality has come home to roost and is now affecting policy decisions.

The administration had sought control over National Guard units, normally under control of the governor. Louisiana officials rejected the request, noting that such a move would be comparable to a federal declaration of martial law. State authorities suspected a political motive behind the request.

Thank God Bush took over. My gosh, those people were in dire straights and suffering under the hand of Blanco.

The MSM knows who's to blame for this screw up, and that's why they're on the attack. Had Bush not saved the day, those poor people would still be screaming from their roof tops. Nothing happened until he moved in, and that's pretty darn obvious to any one with a brain.

Screw the MSM. Especially the comPOST.

In any disaster, fixing it STARTS at the local level and goes UP. Only the MSM can make the whole thing GBush's fault - from global warming cooking the storm, to dysintery in the superdome.

I have my problems with GWB, but i DONT LIKE LIES. and that's what the MSM has become IMO - A SPREADER OF LIES, working in concert with the Rats. Even Fox - ShepSmith in particular - continues to push the idea that somehow all this would have been MINOR if GWB wasnt on vacation. Lies, Lies, Lies. I'm tired of it. Thank GOD for Free Republic so I can vent.

As misleading as the article's headline is, the facts within the story look terrible for NOLA...

The Bush Admin steps up and tries to take the leadership role of what should be a state/local responsibility...

No one in their right mind will deny that the situation under state/local control has been an ancillary disaster...

The mere fact that the state/local authorities are resisting will be devastating politically...and so would capitulating....

Meanwhile...out of the ashes of tragedy, Bush's leadership stature will be solidified....

All Bush needs to do now is appoint Gulianni as the NOLA Recovery CZAR...

Politically this an extremely deft move on Bush's part...Has Rove all over it...

This sentence alone tells everyone the true agenda of the MSM.

It's just too absurd.

Well, since the MSM automatically puts the blame on Bush for every problem from the very beginning, even before the facts are out, any future revelations of facts by the White House qualifies as a "shift of blame" by their warped logic.

If Blanco turned down Bush's request to federalize the troops, then she should be impeached. And judging from the excuse they gave the reporter, it seems that she did.

Actually, despite the misleading headline, this clearly shows that President Bush, having no faith in DemoRats to handle the situation competently, did precisely the right thing.

If Bubblehead Blanco had ceded authority to the President on Friday night as he requested, the vast majority of people would have been evacuated and this whole fiasco could have been avoided.

Of course the White house was trying to take control.

The Governor wasn't taking the needed action to save thousands.

Some editor made up the headline.
If the President attempted to take any power away from this inept Governor and the Mayor in need of a "Jones" then that's good news.
We need the events from Saturday through Thursday to come out.
Who said what and who did what. This is a start.
The Feds will come out on top, when the whole story is known.
