yes, they will subpoena the mayor and governor before Congress...that would be good

That will be a circus, but necessary.

Actually, I agree with you. I believe that substantively, Bush did a lot in advance. His brother is the country's best governor, so he probably expected the same level of competence in LA, which did not occur.

He also called a state of emergency before the storm hit and urged the local idiots to evacuate.

Where he is slow? PR again. He's allowed his enemies in the press to team with the left to define this is the worst possible way for him - again.

Every governor with a large urban area in their state better have their homeland security guy front and center asking them "are we ready for this?"

My husband is part of our EOC (emergency operations center)...he cannot leave during a hurricane.

Lots of jobs, police, firemen, power workers, utility workers, city managers, nurses, doctors, nursing home personnel, etc. all have to be at their jobs during a hurricane.

Just a thought. Perhaps the reason the MSM, Black Caucus, Jessie Jackson are all pointing fingers at President Bush in this is to draw attention from their part in creating this whole problem in the first place.

No, not the Hurricane. The extreme poverty the world is seeing that has been created by the Democratic Party because, if they don't keep the folks down and out they might figure out what frauds they have running their party...

They know we are all talking about how poor these people are and we are talking about the gangsta's doing the shootings... the only way to deflect that attention is to throw mud back in the direction of the President saying he is incompetent. They are the true incompetents.

>>And he says if he had his way, New Orleans would be burned down.<<

Well after a few hours of watching the television, it looks as if he may get his wish.

The ONLY man worth his salt in DC is President Bush.

Other than maybe Tom Delay and a couple others, ITA.

Guess who isn't making this political though he could? Yep, Bush. He could slam Blanco and the mayor, hasn't done it.

These people are sick.

Amen!

As a radio amateur, I have had some experience with disaster relief (in a very small way). Our club does Field Day every year, the idea being to set up a portable emergency radio station in the middle of nowhere, with generators and everything necessary . . . just for practice.

I can tell you that even with a SMALL operation, it takes time to get things set up and on the road. You don't get your personnel assembled, supplies gathered, trucks gassed up, and on the road with a snap of the fingers.

And that's without the time constraints, the time pressure, and all the problems they had here with all the usual forward staging areas being blown away or under water, or obstructed by washed-out bridges and thousands of fallen trees across the roadways . . .

Frankly, I am amazed at how quickly this is all coming together.

Even more frankly, I am convinced that the major media KNOW that, they just can't resist the temptation to attack Bush yet again . . .

Usually it is 72 hours before substantial help begins to arrive after a major disaster.

You are correct. Please inform CNN, MSNBC and your local MSM affiliates. We need to raise Hell.

They need to know we are out there and watching and know what is truth and what is lies.

What was Bush's exact quote concerning the fed response? Laura said today that he was not pleased.

** People in a predominately white area wouldn't be shooting at the people trying to save them.**

And they wouldn't be driving around in stolen cars with guns shouting "F&&& the police!"....

Now Frist says he might hearings into the response.

Oh, for God's sake, Frist. Start drilling in the ANWR and make yourself useful.
