DrDeb, thank you SO much for that link. I've been saying the federal response was NOT SLOW from the beginning. Trying every which way to get the truth out as best I can from the grassroots. I agree. We must send this to Republican congress-critters, as well as to every newspaper and TV station we can think of. The MSM has maligned a magnificent job by federal first responders who saved thousands of lives.

Not only was the federal response NOT slow....The number of bodies is a fraction of what was predicted ....The pumps are emptying the bowl faster than they expected. The airport will be open for commercial traffic in a week.

Some folks could be going back much sooner than they expect....Much of NOLA was NOT flooded and suffered little damage.
