Yes, we all would love some first person accounts.
We started to talk about the flood and I was amazed that not once did she start in about how it was Bush's fault. Pretty much her whole deal was about how dangerous it became so quickly and how fast order broke down. Her husband (a lib by osmosis from my sister) did mention that Bush should have sent troops there faster, but my wife and I countered very quickly that the governor of Louisiania was responsible for sending in Louisiana troops and that she had 30,000 troops at her disposal. We also mentioned that she didn't call for troops from other states until Wednesday. There was no argument.
Anyways I found it very encouraging because despite the MSM's constant drumbeat of "it's Bush's fault" their message isn't taking. People, including many libs, can see right through it.
