I heard Blanco herself admit that she didn't want to give the federal government that much power when the president WANTED to intervene, so as far as I'm concerned, the biggest part of the burden falls on her shoulders. These idiot democRATs thought that all they had to do once they were in office was to sit back and think up ways to separate working people from their money to misappropriate for their own pet projects (not the least of which is their own reelection campaigns), and to enjoy the perks and power that their office affords them. Imagine their surprise to discover that they are actually expected to possesss some leadership qualities and to EARN their fat paychecks.
Quite ironic, isn't it? Here we have a state governor who refused to relinquish control because she wanted to protect her state's sovereignty...and now, because of her incompetence, we have a bunch of politicians who are going to want to give the feds even more power and responsibility. What's so sad is that this is already part of the problem; the more responsibilities the federal government assumes, the less responsible the state and people become. I can't imagine the other state governors are too happy with Miss Blanco and the mediacrats antics over this crisis.
