In northern michigan we heard that the hurricane was headed for New Orleans TWO DAYS before it did!!! Those people has PLENTY of notice. I didn’t feel too terribly sorry for them. And lets just admit that it was the black population of that city that couldn’t figure out how to take responsibility for their own lives and safety.
The education level of those people was pretty low. That should tell them something. They were incapable of taking care of themselves. Others shouldn’t feel sorry or guilty for what went on.
I remember too, that Bush signed a disaster declaration for that area before Katrina even hit. And Mayor Chococate Nagin was on TV two days before it hit, and then the day before also, urging everyone to get out. It’s very sad that too many didn’t leave in time. Whose fault is that?
I’m still frustrated that Bush was blamed for all the problems of Katrina and the gov’t response to same, when the mayor and governor there were both good Democrats. The liberals succeeded in politicizing a natural disaster. The liberals succeeded in knocking Bush and suggesting that the federal gov’t, not the state and local gov’t, had the supreme responsibility to prepare and rescue people.
