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...

Bush should have declared NO a federal military district and booted Nagin and the other buffoons out.

You know I was thinking along these lines today and was hoping it would happen and Rudy would have a press conference and the first question would be "why did the feds screw up" and his answer would be they didn't the layor and state did by not following their plan!

Please add that she hired her own FEMA director. America's wasn't good enough for her purposes.

I agree! However, some people only read the headlines. Like demonicRATs.

A supremely foolish move.

Don't bring a yankee down here to tell the locals how to solve the problems. Very foolish to do so.

Seriously.
