He did it too late.

People have only had time because of logjam traffic to move about a hundred miles or so. As metereologists have noted, this still leaves them in the path of the storm. These people have only improved their luck moderately.

Had they left Thursday, they could have gotten completely out of Katrinas path.

The mayor was not ready to declare mandatory evacs even by this morning, he only did so at Bush's insistence.

People in that area know, or damn well l should know they live on a flood basin. You want to point fingers, point fingers at the morons who built the city there in the first place. the Minuit the word went out that the storm could hit the area, the people...the store owners and restaurants should have been shutting their doors and on the way out warn the tourists about the elevation of the city and to get out. But they did not... they waited for the titty.

And now some did not get to suckle enough, they blame the mayor. Stop blaming and take responsibility on yourself!

The mayor was on telling people to get out. This morning the Bush ordered him to...wow, big deal! If I watch the news in one of the fancy restaurants down town as I try to block out the fags, and I see a hurricane is approaching, I'm gone. Why is this so hard?

My neice and her family left Slidell Sunday morning at 4:30AM, took the back roads out and were in Jackson Miss. at 8:30AM getting ready to cut across up to northwestern La. where they own property and an RV, they were convoying three king cab trucks. They packed their trucks Sat. People with intelligence know how to plan and take care of themselves, people who depend on someone else, ie a mayor, to take care of them, deserve what they get.
