The day BEFORE the storm... they had the RC offer.
If it is true that there was a delay caused by Blanco or she intentionally withheld the aid.. even for the reason that she gave... is bordering on criminal.... If She has done this just to try to make a political point or score some political capitol.. I speaks to the sad state of affairs that our political system has fallen into... the fact that a major party governer would intentional withhold aid from evacuees and that she would block both the federal and red cross offical is disgusting...
Really I could only see a few reason for her to do this...
first being what has been stated... she did it to give the admin a black eye....partisian activity...
second... Power play... Gov. Blanco is power hungry and refuses to allow an other orginization come in a wrest control from her... possible look at they way she is fighting Nagin to trying to evac NO....
third... she lost her marble soon after the storm and she is just being a front person that is acting as a mouth piece for either the DNC or handlers in her admin... (not likely... she seems pretty lucid..)
fourth...She is either that negligent or incompotent that she does not have a clue as to what she is doing, and in completed denial of the seriousness of the gravity of the situation...
If any of these 4 statements are near accurate she should no longer be in office for the sake of the people of New Orleans and the rest of lousiana.
