This Governor is very weak.

She, as Governor, has the authority and power to use the LA NG to quickly supress and put down this lawlessness...and she is not doing it. Instead, she is wringing her hands, making excuses and asking the President to.

Well, IMHO, he should step in and do what has to be done to make it happen. It's turning from looting to insurrection.

[Howlin]

She is doing something; she went to church today to pray.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I believe she will be impeached or recalled by the citizens of Louisiana, before this is all over. The battle lines will be drawn.

The fence sitters must be kicking themselves for not having voted for Bobby Jindal.

This is a classic study in the inability to lead.

asking the president to handle NG

That is because she can then blame Bush for everything, shooting looters, not stopping looting, it is all Bush's fault, not hers.

[Iron Matron]

It's turning from looting to insurrection.

It's also turning in to good reason not to donate.

I DO NOT want my charity dollars to go to those criminals..and you know they will. Those few barbarians do not deserve the help they will surley receive, IMO.

[tomahawk]

Her voters are the looters. She's not going to hurt them, without them, she has no power.

[HamiltonJay]

This Governor is very weak incompetent.

[ladyinred]

I was thinking this today myself. A Governor has the right to call up the NG , yet all I hear is how dare Bush not have them there, blah, blah, blah.

I guess believing in yourself doesn't cut it here. Maybe she should get down on her knees and pray to a higher power. But noticing a God in this case would actually be worse and more politically incorrect than watching thousands suffer and die. At least in all of this liberalism and violence will overcome absolute morals and the keeping of law and order.
