What heppened in New Orleans is a total mess - IMHO 90% of the blame should be pointed at the city & state level. They control the 1st responders. Even with the several day foresight and pre positioning of supplies. The local government has to handle the situation for at least 3-4 days before the federal government gets in gear.

And most important there has to be a CLEAR chain of command. Somebody has to be out ther to give the masses the confidance that somebody is in charge.

ON 9-11 it was Rudy

Last year with the 4 hurricanes it was Jeb

Here we have the largest natural disater (hard to call it that the levee system is man made) in American History and nobody locally stepped up to the plate.

I love how the Dems (They know the local politicians are gonna be killed when the truth comes out) try to pin everything on Bush.

I don't think anyone in even the broad political mainstream (including liberal Democrats) was questioning Giuliani after 9/11. Only the far-left extremists were - and they rarely vote.

I wish someone in Media would say okc & wtc Bombing was just a few building and this is from Al. coast to La. coast. And Mississippi from coast to top of State thousands and thousands of miles. Only the North Weat corner of Mississippi did not get any damage. Lets get real here people. I live in Pearl, Ms. and it is 3 hours from coast and we was out of power for 4 days. We had power people (from Al. Ga. Penn. & Ms.) just our city alone working 24/7. When i seen damage in our city I never thought we would get power back that soon. And still in Rankin County some still do not have power. Hattiesburg was was like a War Zone and it's only 1 hr. to 45 mins. from coast. Camp Shelly is South of Hattiesburg and National Guards had to cut there out. Thank GOD for Haley Barbour (Our Gov.) the National Guards and all the power co. and people who came to help us. For that we are very thankful.
