New Orleans' Nagin says Adm. Allen 'stepped outside his lane'

NEW ORLEANS - After backing off on his call for some residents to return to New Orleans, the city's mayor ripped into the top U.S. government relief official on Tuesday, underscoring the rising tension between city and federal authorities over who has the final say after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina....

The call for another evacuation ahead of a new tropical storm came after repeated warnings from top federal officials — including President Bush himself — that New Orleans was not safe enough to reopen. Federal officials warned that Tropical Storm Rita could breach the city’s weakened levees and swamp the city all over again.

Pathetic-- first he rips them for not doing his job, then he rips them when he does.

Ann Coulter needs to write a book about this guy, Nagin. He's a poster boy for all that's wrong with the Rat mindset and worldview.

Hey, Marion Barry looks like Fiorello LaGuardia compared to Ray Nagin.

Excellent! Yes, to the FR Lexicon should be added "what a Nagin"---right beside a "Monica" and a "Clymer."

So what is the official definition of a Nagin? Have at it.

Is his incompetence racially motivated??

Actually, maybe it is! See the post on his motivation being wrapped up in getting the poor black folks back to NO in order to preserve whatever flimsy voting base he may still have.

What a Nagin!

"I question what his need is--is it legal?"

I think that he knows if there are no people in New Orleans, there's nothing to be mayor of. He'll be out of a job.

While there is still some debate about the effects of mold on humans I seriously question the wisdom of pushing a huge population into yet another possible hazardous situation without a plan in place to properly prepare them to cope!

They are not.

They will re-elect the same crooks at the next election.

Just saw some guy on CNN say that the mayor is being pressured by "leaders" to bring back the black population because if they stay away for six months, they won't come back...something about saving the culture, blah, blah, blah.

Man, am I glad you put "leaders" in quotes.

As in the Revvvverend Jackson et al.

All they see is the crack-up of their plantation and, consequently, their controlled voter dominion.

All I see is the possible break-up of a huge festering boil of poverty.

The plantation gates were busted right open.

The prisoners have been set free.

Some will go back to the plantation, some will open their eyes to what the free world has to offer and never look back!

Nagin = Moonbat candidate number 1 as the unnamed source being cited in reports that the levees were purposely blown up to flood the black neighborhoods.

Let's look past natural phenomena like a Cat 5 hurricane and gravity as being primary causes.

He's incompetent because he's a Dem and can get away with murder.

Believe me, on all the non-politcal sites, folks have REALLY shut up about he and Blanco being victimized because of race, gender or political affiliation.

Seems it's obvious to most if not all, they're loosers without any excuse.

"citizens of N.O. are WISE ENOUGH to get rid of this incompetent liberal loser."

The fact of the matter is that this is the best mayor New Orleans has had since I moved into the area 15 years ago.

I see it this way. He is smart, caring, HONEST(first one), and an accomplished business man prior to becoming mayor. Pardon me if I take his word for it before I pay attention to a bunch of armchair A-holes sitting in their comfortable living rooms around the country. He was doing serious work cleaning up the corruption and incompetence in that city prior to this storm.

He wants the citizens back to start cleaning the place up, that is his motivation. The role of the federal govt is to support local authorities not usurp their power. As I recall we have a Constitution that states just that! That is exactly what he appears to be complaining about.

The incompetence in this issue is at the state level.

The only thing the mayor lacks is political skills

If this guy weren't black the press would be screaming for his blood.

"Marion Berry" mean anything to you???"

Nothing could be further from the truth!

I live in the area and you obviously have information deficit disorder.
