I’m guessing no one wants a Katrina/post-Katrina federal situation anymore. Now even the feds have to get involved (which they shouldn’t) because no one wants to be accused of being a Callous Bush.
We used to do fine with our Baltimore Gas & Electric, e.g.; they’d send people all up and down the coast to help. (No more, though - they’re Constellation now so they really aren’t good anymore.) At least in the past, private people used to do things just fine.
Just read an article about it and they are on stand by. According to the laws of this land..Obama and his feds can’t do a thing unless asked to by the states. I’ve also noticed that Obama is picking winners and losers already by declaring the dem states disaster areas ahead of time. Haven’t heard him say anything about the republican run states though. Very strange.
I don’t trust Obama and his government at all!
