Hey, listen, calling for a day of prayer IS the first thing that should be done. I'm proud of the fact that she said this.
For those who can't be there in person to help, much prayer is needed from them. She was wise to call for it.
As for the rest, she may not be up to the challenge, but I do believe she is giving it her all to the very best of her abilities.
The people of LA elected her governor -- she's in the position -- and doing all she can with her personal capabilities. She may not be up to the task, but she IS trying her best.
I wouldn't feel comforted if I was in the Superdome and I heard the only response of the Governor was that she was going to call for a day of Prayer.
Correct lets get a few facts on the ground here. The word that needs to be used is "disaster". When disasters happen plans often go out the window in the first hour. Thats reality folks. Look at Iraq everyone screams Bush didn't have a "plan". The facts the "plan" went out the window when the new realities hit. Thats just life. Whats not being reported since the networks don't even the resources to get people to report about Jeffeerson Parish for Gods sake is what went right. In spite of not much notice and because of improvemnets we learned from previous failed "plans" over a million people were evaced out of the in about 36 hours. Law enforcemnet from my area from all agencies were sent into immediate prestaging areas. How do think all those boats from wildlife and fisheries were there last night ion CNN. This is the largest Natural crisis in US history it appears. So to be honest this Governor as well as alot of hard working officials on the local level of both parties performed great deeds and are contuning to do so all over the state. Whats amazing is so much of the "plan" has worked.
Doing her best is not good enough here. Calling for a day of Prayer is not saving lives. And people are going to die because of her leadership.
We just disagree. Usually when people are not up to a challenge, I give them slack. But I can't give her slack now. Maybe later.
