That's my take too. I would like to add that this Bush's response to this will be as much his legacy as 911, Iraq or anything else.
Anyone who wants out is getting out. The first buses have gone to Texas. Those that remain are chosing to do so.
This will be handled and repaired and life will return to normal.
The real culprit in this is the inability of the media and the leaders of New Orleans to convince people to leave BEFORE the storm. It was clear it was going to hit, but no one believed the politicians and the media.
The amazing thing is that we will clean it up and make it all stronger and better.
God Bless America baby!!!!
