Reports of the government halting Red Cross delivery of much-needed supplies, like water and medicine, because they were not allowed access to those most in need, have not yet been addressed by the White House.

Why would that concern be addressed by the White House?

When did Blanco handed over authority to the feds? Did this caused the delays for the red cross?
Did the Louisana emergency management agency/Louisiana state homeland security purposely kept aid from the Superdome to make a political statement that FEMA doesn't work?

When did Blanco hand over her National Guard to federal authorities? Bush tried on August 26 but she refused to hand over authority. Was it September 1 when she declared martial law in New Orleans? Was that the whole region?

If she didn't hand over authority to the feds then she created a bureaucratic red tape nightmare.
