It's just politics as usual. Let's see, we weren't prepared, we had a problem. Would it be the the Democrat City Mayor's problem? Would it be the Democrat Governor's problem? Or would it be the Republican Presidents problem?
Go read the Mayors rant to the radio station. This is the guy who holed up with no telephones or other communication when the rest of the city government went to Baton Rouge. How much direction was he able to give? Then when asked if the governor had declared an emergency, as required to get Fed help, he didn't know. His excuse, they should have known. What a pitiful excuse for a mayor. Read the transcript of the interview. It's hard to tell if he's a street hood or a mayor. Could things have been different? should things have been different? Yes. Is it all the presidents fault? Hardly.
