I do not have a source for this; it is based on statements from an
unidentified Bush spokesman.
It is factually incorrect, as Blanco issued a request on Friday. You
can find this on the web site of the Louisiana government.

The moderator has requested that information related to non-CS politics
be moved off-topic, but the disturbingly propagandistic and erroneous
information posted below from "a Baton Rouge newspaper" demands a
reply viewable by all who saw the posting.

Subject: FW: New Orleans - from a Baton Rouge Newspaper
On Friday night before the storm hit Max Mayfield of the National
Hurricane Center took the unprecedented action of calling Nagin and
Blanco personally to plead with them to begin MANDATORY evacuation of
NO and they said they'd take it under consideration. This was after
the NOAA buoy 240 miles south had recorded 68' waves before it was
destroyed.
President Bush spent Friday afternoon and evening in meetings with his
advisors and administrators drafting all of the paperwork required for
a state to request federal assistance (and not be in violation of the
Posse Comitatus Act or having to enact the Insurgency Act).
