Sorry, my assumption. She and the mayor were passing the buck to each other even after the President signed an emergency declaration ahead of time. Then Sunday, it was shortly after being reported that the governer had talked with President Bush, that the mayor and governor came out together to announce the evacuation to the Superdome.

On SUnday when the mandatory evac was announced, Governor Blanco of LA made sure to say that the President urged her and the Mayor to order the evacuation. I was thinking at the time that if this storm didn't live up to the hype they could pin the evacation order on Bush.
Another poster on this long thread posted that she had read that someone from FEMA or Homeland Security called up the chain to get the President because he couldn't make any progress on the mandatory evacuations on his own with the Gov and the Mayor.
No links though but I have even heard it reported on CNN
