None deserved or earned. He is an obvious incompetant.
Yes, he's incompentent. No doubt, and that's not what I'm saying. He's trying to lay blame on the Governor and the President, and he's not accepting the responsibility of what his actions have caused.
I'm saying, if I was in his position now, I'd be pissed, too. He's not getting the support he needs from his Governor. I believe most of the blame for the "aftermath" of Katrina lay at the feet of Ms. Blanco. Period.
And for the comparisons to 9/11, I don't believe it's even close. For 9/11, we had an enemy, a rallying point. We don't have that here. For 9/11, we lost some big buildings, and 3,000 people, not an entire city, and probably much more than 3,000 people, with 1,000,000+ homeless. With 9/11 we had a competent mayor working with a competent Governor. Here we have neither.
The rallying point here has to be that we're all Americans, and we have to take care of our own. It's going to take some national pride (and I believe we'll see that), it's going to
