I've heard that from other sources. But the libs are screaming that the floods in New Orleans are Bush's fault because funding was cut for the levees. Never mention the corruption that eats large chunks out of budgets for levee maintenance and looks the other way at substandard work by politically-connected contractors.
The libs are screaming that Bush is not reacting quickly enough. Never mention the horrific lack of adequate disaster planning that failed to get those without transport away from NOLA (Texas is having no problems stepping up to the plate on short notice).
In other words, government corruption at all levels of government in Louisiana is the primary reason a natural disaster became a humanitarian one. And like everything else in this sorry day and age, we will emerge from this catastrophe not trying to figure out how to prevent the next one, but instead trying to gain political advantage by pinning blame whether it belongs there or not - just like the 9/11 Commisssion (expect Governor Blanco to be placed on the Commission that looks into failures leading up to Katrina).

Levees in New Orleans are not a federal issue. It's a local issue. New Orleans has a huge amount of wealth, and if their government wasn't corrupt and incompetent they would have rebuilt the levees long ago.
