So, did you have an issue with Ray Naggin not putting people on buses and getting them out of town? I did. If you don't use the buses because they aren't air conditioned, and people die, you are an idiot and shouldn't be the mayor. How about all the politicians, mostly democrat, stealing the money that has been allocated to fix the levies? And finally, the people themselves. . . why is it we have to bail them out, but in Mississippi, they did for themselves? New Orleans citizens, particularly the poor, have been trained to rely on the government for substandard services, while most every place else in the US, people do for themselves.
Nobody wants to spread the joy on this, just accuse Bush, and I'm sure he should get some credit for the fubar, but there's enough to spread around. It appears Katrina has caused the US government, and states, to get ready for future disasters. We've had three trainloads of evacuees brought in to Memphis in the last few days and dispersed to aid centers. My wife and I are working tonight from midnight til 3 at our church in the aid center. There will probably be several hundred people from LA there.

What we had a problem with was that he did not follow the crisis even in the news, and that his aids had to make a DVD for him to watch so he could be convinced to act. Staying away or going in those first 24-36 hours was never the issue. If you recall, Obama was sandbagging during the midwest floods for 4 hours, and put his back into the crisis. McCain is 72 and partially disabled, so nobody expects him to be filling and placing sandbags. But there wasn't a lot of press about what Obama did then -- and that was deliberate.
