You are putting the cart before the horse if you add the Feds to the list of screw-ups because the President issued a pre-Katrina disaster declaration. That was done to ALLOW the state officials to move folks, food & water into emergency shelters using federal funds, etc. Instead, you got two idiots refusing to do their assigned duties for what reason we will never know. Sad, isn't it? The President tried to help them beforehand, and they still screwed the pooch!

I was not blaming the feds. I fully blame the governor BECAUSE she refused to use the state and federal assets that were made available to be used BEFORE the storm made landfall. This fiasco is primarily on Kathleen Blanko's shoulders because she refused to act period. I do NOT blame the feds at all.
