Now I know why Blanco blocked Jeb Bush's offer of Florida National Guard days before the hurricane.
When the American people believe the President is responsible for everything you have a situation like this.
Either change the laws and allow the President to be able to make the decisions if he is going to take the heat or expect more of this.
There is a disconnect between the American people and understanding of our laws. Bush had very little power in Louisiana. The commander and chief of that state is Blanco.
If the laws are going to stay the same then the President should be called commander and chief of ourseas troops. Because people believe that he is the commander and chief on the ground in Louisiana when it is really Blanco.
Federal troops couldn't go into New Orleans. How can you send in troops where there is violence when they have no law enforcement power. They become sitting ducks.
That would be President Bush; when he accepted 'responsibility' for the Louisana generated fiasco. . .
