Bush gave a Mandatory Order to leave the city.
I see the media refuses or is too intimidated to state the obvious.Where were the local officials in any of this mess? I have to say if the Mayor was white he would be run up the flag pole by the media.

"Bush gave a Mandatory Order to leave the city.---if the Mayor was white "

Those comments are idiotic. I live in Slidell and from my view, the mayor is blameless, the Governor is culpable and the Feds were very,very late! The national guard in Louisiana which is under control of the governor was not there until it was too late.

As for people saying there was an evacuation order(which the mayor gave not Bush BTW), I am at a loss to understand how shallow these "thinkers" really are. You cannot evacuate millions of people for hundreds of miles on 2 or 3 roads at the drop of a hat. Pull your head out of wherever you are storing it.
