No, my comment was in response to Clinton's statement that Katrina is a positive event because it will make people see that they need big government to take care of them and that people will see that they need the Democrats to do that. I also hope that no local LA politician will be able to oversee any of the federal aid money.
My problem with LA is that I was stationed there in the 70's. I know firsthand the corruption in that state. As I firmly believe that Edwin Edwards is the puppet master behind Blanco. Louisianna's corruption and fraudulent elections did not just happen overnight. This has been a long time coming. They were just hoping that it would never see the light of day.
I do believe in Federalism and states rights. There are certain things that the Federal Government can do better than anything else and there are certain things that the federal government should not be involved in.
Okay...I see what you mean....
Back about 20 years ago when I was a mother of young children and didn't have the time or inclination to pay much attention to politics...even I knew that Louisiana was famous for 2 things..
the Mardi Gras...and corrupt government officials...of course it almost seem like a joke back then...but, like I said...I wasn't paying as much attention back then.
I have been dismayed at even what I consider relatively honest media members that have complained about how long it took Bush to get the troops into NO....without even acknowledging the steps that are needed before a POTUS can just "send" in troops, legally, that is.
