I've read that numerous times here at FR. People outside FR don't care. They wanted Bush to do the right and best thing from the moment Katrina hit New Orleans, REGARDLESS of the law. They thought he was a cowboy who played by his own rules to get the job done. This is a big CF for Bush. I've talked to friends and family all over the US. They don't care about what Nagin or Blanco did or did not do beforehand or afterward. They care about why Bush hasn't come to the rescue of those people with the power of the entire federal government.
Of course that fact that you are a hysteric Bush Hater who has long history here on FR of posting nothing but emotionally hysteric slams at the President should in no way raise questions in our minds about your intellectual objectivity or honesty now should it? We should just ignore your history of Bush Hate and take your feeling on this issue seriously. Doesn't matter what you knee jerk Bush haters FEEL, we are STILL a Nation of laws. The President has to FOLLOW the law no matter what you Bush haters FEEL he should do. Since you refuse to put your political bigotry on hold in the face of this disaster, I will explain it to you ONCE.
The City of NO has the responsibility. IF they CANNOT cope they ask the STATE for help. IF the STATE cannot deal, it asks the FEDS for help. As of Sat Sept 3rd, the Blanco Gov of Louisiana has STILL not asked for FEDERAL troops to restore order in NO.
Despite the breaching of the levees on TUESDAY and the growing unrest in NO, the 1st responders from FEMA and the Louisana NG were sent in Wed UNARMED by Gov Blanco. Why was it not until Thursday Afternoon that Gov Blanco sent in a mere 300 Armed NG troops to restore order in NO?
I know it REALLY bothers you Bush Haters to actually have to THINK but the facts are going to come right around and bite you morons on the butt AGAIN when this is all done.
