I'm very impressed with Gov. Perry of Texas.
He has arranged for teams of medical doctors to treat refugees from NO. There will also be psychiatrists on hand to help those who have suffered such emotional trauma.
Perry has already talked with teachers about the stress this will put on the educational system in terms of books, teachers, classroom size, etc. He has talked with bus drivers to ensure there will be appropriate transportation. He has talked with the people who provide vouchers for school lunches.
Perry has talked with Gov. Bush to see how they can "bookend" their help to the affected Gulf states.
It was a very, very impressive press conference
Yep, while Governor Blanco simpers on TV, Perry has been working the phones - the key role of a governor in the early stages of a crisis. The time for non-stop TV interviews is after everyone is rescued and in shelter.
Thank God that there is some competent leaders who can get something done. I am so mad at the effin' dingbat in charge here. I swear I will be the first one to sign the recall or impeachment petitions. That woman is useless and needs to be ran out on a rail.
Me too, and someone in Tennessee as well, whom I heard almost immediately offering assistance..
