People of various professional backgrounds, have been warning for years that a CAT 4 or 5 would cause flooding in NO and there was a several day warning that this storm was going to hit the city. Someone posted on another thread the position of the hurricane several days prior to it's hitting New Orleans as an argument that the Mayor and Governor were well aware the storm was going to hit and had plenty of time to act.
The same arguments holds true for the President (who was in CRAWFORD, TX then), though his time was less as he had to give them an opportunity to act first. When they didn't he should have done what I previously outlined.
This is one occasion when I believe the president really does deserve part of the blame. If you were truly honest with yourself, you would likely believe it as well.
I honestly don't believe that he was aware of just how incompetent these people were. Even now, the govenor won't allow what will help her people.
And we are talking about 90,000 square miles, the size of Great Britain. There's only so much even the Feds could have done. There is looting in Miss too. ( Former REC Clergyman Murdered ) But the presses eyes are trained on NO because the majority of those people are black and the NO mayor is an hysterical screamer.
I understand your passion about this but the very magnitude of this catastrophe meant there would be devastation of human life. Miss is no better off than La. Just quieter about it.
