The way I heard it, he was talking about Impeachment, not recall.
You are right it wa impeach not recall. May mistake.
I'm more interested in seeing a timeline of events of all involved compared to the movement of the storm. This will be forthcoming when the investigations of the events are done. Then we'll know what actions were taken or not taken, where to improve and where blame needs to be placed.
I'm not that impressed by an opinion of someone from NJ that most likely hasn't been on the ground in the area impacted.
OK all you raving Democrats, are you sure you want a Katrina Commission to investigate Blanco and Nagin?
She was more concerned with the political ramifications than with human lives.
A former school teacher and undoubtedly teacher's union leader. Now she's done to Louisiana what teachers have been doing to the schools.
Impeachment, anyone?
She procrastinated 72 hours prior Katrina hitting (it was declard a CAT 5 at least 48 hours before it hit shore) and then she drug her feet at least another 72 hours after Katrina hitting before authorizing the necessary response forces.
It was like she was on another world.
Impeach.
Sad to say that this is just posturing. The legislature itself has the power to start the process without the public being involved. But he and half of the legislature would have to put their names to it. Looks like he doesn't want to be on record.
She is still being an obstacle to completing the largest rescue operation in the history of mankind. She's gotta go.
She had detailed Emergency plans which she was responsible to enact and she failed to do so. If she was a Flag Officer in the military she'd be gone for such negligence. In fact she may have committed manslaughter here.
I refuse to say the voters elected her to execute such plans, they didn't, they elected her to be a kind welfare nanny.
Nagan should share the jail cell with her.
My husband is a dedicated teacher and has the same opinion of the unions as you do.
He's noticed that when a "do-nothing-useful" union representative begins dressing more formally, it's an indication that he is about to take an adminstrative position in the school district. (or take a state-level job within the union)
I wonder how she'd like that.
Seriously, I'm wondering at what level (local, state, federal?) charges will be brought up against the two.
I suspect that the people involved, having been so inspired by socialists an socialism also feel that only Greyhound coaches are good enough so long as someone else is paying.
Include the mayor of NO to be put in jail too. Followed by throwing away of the key.
"Blanco failed -- and should be jailed"
Blanco cried -- people died
Blanco frowned--black people drowned!
I wonder if any of Blanco's decision
making had something to do with control of federal money she had asked for?
I don't know what the laws are regarding financial aid if the government
takes total control in a disaster. Does anyone know if the feds would control the funds allocated or does local and state government?
I'm sure there's some diabolical reason why she would not accept help. Nobody could be that stupid
on purpose.
Where is Kathleen, by the way?
Probably watching over and over tapes of the new season of Oprah blaming Bush. I don't watch Oprah, but was surfing and caught a few minutes of Lisa Ling. Disgusting.
Remember.....she thought they "could make this a positive experience".
I know that you wish the best for the people of LA, but it will not happen.
As much as I want to believe it myself, I know a little about NO and LA, both from personal experience and from long time family ties and history.
LA is corrupt, it has been for years. The power center never was NO, at least not in this century. The machine that runs the political system is found in Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Lake Charles, Shreveport, etc.
Also, I have to give you this bad news. Just because you have an "R" after your name-in LA, it just means that you slipped by the machine with a wink and a nod, but they will catch up to you later and remind you which side of the bread has the butter.
They are not going to give up, because if they did, Angola would be full of ex-LA politicians.
