You are right about that. Sometimes I wish he had just a little Lyndon Johnson streak in him.
Does the president actually have the legal ability to remove Governor Blank from power?
And I want to say this. I think a big part of this story that's been missed is well over a million people evacuated New Orleans. Had someone not had the foresight -- there's been a lot of criticism of planning, and who did what and who didn't do what. Someone saw the storm coming. Somebody made the call early enough to get over a million people out of that city which is a magnificent and significant achievement that seems to be totally overlooked.
