Hello???

I was in New Orleans as the storm approached and did not need the mayor or anyone to tell me to leave or provide me with transportation.
But if you blame the mayor of New Orleans and Governor of Louisiana for the deaths, why not assign blame to the Governor of Mississippi?

As for New Orleans please cite me an example of a more successful evacuation in US History. 1.25 Million People over two roads in less than 48 hours.

Thank God for Dwight D. Eisenhower and the US Interstate systems.

Nagin FAILED to do ALL within his means to protect those who were not as able to leave as you were. It's as simple as that.

You had a car and got out and are safe. You are safe and I am thankful for that even though I don't even know you. However, those who COULD NOT, particularly the elderly and infirm, were LEFT unassisted by your seemingly beloved Nagin.

WHY wasn't the plan, already in place mind you, to use the busses implemented by the mayor of NO? If an 18 yo man can take it upon himself to commandeer a bus, fill it with infants and elderly people, pool resources to provide gasoline, diapers and formula, why couldn't the mayor have PREVENTED needless deaths of those he KNEW were vulnerable?
