I do not know how he got elected. He certainly has not done much with the city. They are mostly poor and black. What hand UP did they give them, I mean Mardi Gras brings in a lot of money.
Having said that, he knew of their financial plight, what did he have at the ready to assist them. Nothing. Than he bitched it was Bush's fault. Now all those folks whom he did nothing for, except give them unemployment and any other hand out will be the problem of Texas, Utah etc.
I am mad.
If the price were not so high (the actual lives of innocent people) Bush should step back, and make a public announcement that the governor has assured him that she can handle this.
Then he can come back in a week and take over when she returns to her blubbering, foolish self.
Ahhh...the world of fantasy.
Nagin probably got elected because of looks, personality (fun kind of guy), race and he dresses "good'. He strikes me as a real Hollywood stereotype.
