That stinkin' mayor said last night that he wasn't sure he had the legal authority to evacuate the city.
This morning in his press conference, the woman who appeared after him admitted that the president called and pressed them to order a mandatory evacuation.
Can you imagine? I'll bet the guy would never have made the call to evac without the president calling. There is zero leadership in this thing. Zero.
Uh...that was the governor. I was underwhelmed by everyone there except the two-star National Guard General who spoke.
I'll bet the guy would never have made the call to evac without the president calling.
Mr. Mayor, please EVACUATE you have the legal authority!
