I figure Mayor C. Ray Nagin is just as guilty as Gov Blanco. He should have used every bus in his city to get his people out no matter what! He has NO excuse for letting people die in his city.

Think about your own cities Mayor's. I don't like Mayor Michael Coleman's politics (dem) but I know he would have moved heaven and earth to protect the people of Columbus. There sure wouldn't have been any buss setting around in the water here.

And would your Mayor stand still while your Gov starved you? Would your Mayor be blaming the President while your Gov turned back the Red Cross, The Salvation Army and anyone else who tried to help save you?

I don't think so. I know ours wouldn't. I know ours would have screaming to every media outlet that he could if our Gov wouldn't let his people be helped.

So, the way I see it, Mayor Nagin is just as guilty as Gov Blanco.

Let's get off the 'calling names" and try to repeat the facts "as we know them"

The MAYOR did not turn back the Red Cross or the Salvation Army it was the STATE Home Land Security. Which is CONTROLLED by the Gov.namely Blanco!!!!

We need to get this out to as many web sites as possible and I don't know how. I t has not been covered well on MSNBC or CNN. This is added to my first reply. Remember seeing only one side of the interstate going out.Finally they let all four lanes use the lanes to evacuate. THE MAYOR CANNOT SHUT DOWN THE MAIN HIGHWAYS, IT ALSO IS THE GOVERNOR'S EWPONSIBILITY AND LEGALLY ONLY SHE CAN DO IT . As I understand it.
