You are exactly right. What people are seeing on tv, is in no way the fault of the president. Anderson Cooper and Shep Smith can rant and rave all they want, but the local and state authorities need to answer for a lot of the chaos, and then the people that chose to stay behind after being told to leave need to be responsible for their decisions.
Indeed, you are exactly right. However, it's the "elephant in the corner" and will not get any press....too hot to touch with a 10 foot pole.
