There isn't a diver in the universe that can go to a depth of 5,000 feet.

the poit I was trying to make is that people blamed bush for the aftermath of katrina even though the feds cant do anything until the gov of La ask for help, but I dont seee anyone blaming pbo for the same reasons as they blamed bush.

Well you point is just wrong since the President can declare a national state of emergency without a state governors request or permission. In point of fact, Bush had declared a state of emergency two days prior to Katrina making land fall.
Now having said that, again, Bush neither caused Katrina, or failed to declare a mandatory evacuation of the city. That sits squarely in Nagan and Blanco's lap and as far as I am concerned that is the where the greatest blame lies.
