It sure looked to me that they did a better job in Houston than the people responsible for the New Orleans evacuation. Houston is a much larger city than New Orleans and should have had many more problems with evacuation because of that.
Some people are reluctant to praise the effort of Houston officials for fear that the democrat Mayor might get some of the credit for it. So what if he does? Rake him for some of his failed policies. I am not at all familiar with Houston city government but if it is like democrat run government everywhere else in the country it is riddled with failed policy.
