(3) ...President Bush called Governor on Saturday urging her to declare a state of emergency and issue evacuation orders.
Are we sure that he didn't give her until early Sunday morning, hoping she would catch a clue and see the obvious?
(8) There was an evacuation plan in place to evacuate the poor involving school buses, but it was not followed
See my #83. The mayor apparently got confused between "shelter" and "last resort refuge."
Why is getting the facts straight important? Because the MSM is widely circulating false information that is whipping up furious and widespread public anger at the President and the "lack of federal response." Leftists are using this event to fan their hatred. That is wrong and should be nipped in the bud before it spreads
Worth repeating.

I have not seen a valid link Stating when Bush actually urged the Governor to issue the mandatory evacuation.
I have read the Press reports and articles about the press conference where she mentioned it.
I just saw that Whiner form Jefferson Parish again, the President of the Parish, Broussard(sp).
I bet he didn't even realize his own responsibilities before he starts blaming others and calling it criminal.
He Should find a mirror, and consider his own actions and why he did not follow the plan.
BTW - His Predecessor Honorable Tim P. Coulon, Parish President of Jefferson Parish appears as a signatory on the Plan for their area.
