The implication of what you are saying (to follow the logic of those who think the President is being bashed) is that if the Gov. of LA and the Mayor of NO are too dumb or too stubborn to ask for help then the President (and the rest of the Fed Gov) will have to sit on their thumbs and watch NO go up in flames like the rest of us. I have doubts about that.

I have heard on the radio that Pres. Bush is heading down there today to 'conference' with 'local' officials. Perhaps he was invited but it sounded more like he had had enough and was going to go twist some arms. In the end the law will be followed, IOWs the 'local' officials will get to say "we asked the Pres. for help," but the reality will be that Pres. Bush opened a can of whoop-ass on them.

Those LA Dem pols are playing a game of 'drop the ball and blame the Republican Pres.' but it looks like he's going to publically put the ball back in play, put it back in their court and then they can hang on their own petards if they drop it again.
