I think there is a stong impression that Mayor Nagin and Gov Blanco were really caught with their pants down and as the situation grows increasingly out of control (stranded folks at the Superdome, lots of open looting, etc.) they haven't risen to the occasion at all.
No confidence in their leadership at all.
People will now see what liberalism can do to an inner city. Its not pretty.
Agreed, these two may prove to be the most incompetent fools in current American politics...
It will be spun around and blame will be placed on Bush.
What did you expect. Mayor Nagin is a political moron and Governor Blanco is a political hack. Neither has any experience in providing leadership under duress. They are just like all other Democrats, blowhards, lightweights and failures, but certainly not capable of effective action in trying times. Rudy Guillani, John McCain, GW Bush, Frank Keating, Jeb Bush they are not. The people of Louisiana that voted these buffoon Democrat scum into office are getting just what they voted for. But, don't fret people of New Orleans, FEMA. GW Bush, and the US Army Engineers will save your sorry butts.
I am assuming these two politicians are democrats??? If yes, it does not surprise me; democrats are the dumbest people on earth.
I really don't know what more they could do. It seriously looks like the catastrophic damage that was being called for had indeed happened. They are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. They need support not criticism.
"No confidence in their leadership at all."
What about levee control? What's the plan? Was the plan always to wait days?
"Mayor Nagin and Gov Blanco"
These two and others need to be replaced at the polls and soon.
What a bunch of incompetents!
I told my husband today that they need to send Rudy down there to get things nder control.
Sad to say, I couldn't agree with you more. the Louisiana goveror is on Larry King right now if anyone doubts she's either incompetent or in shock, offering nothing but gloom and doom. and KIng! He's asking about prisoners and she doesn't know the answers.
compare her to Haley Barbour who's on the phone.
I've watched the entire Alabama leadership team, and they re impressive too.
I pity the people of New Orleans and Louisiana
Not what I find even worse though? Mary Landrieu's lack of sincerity. Everytime she talks it's like it has been scripted, she shows no emotion. All she cares about now is getting money from the Feds and blaming Bush for natural disasters.
