60,000 people rescued in 10 days. That makes it the most successful government resuce in world history.
The blame should reside with the La. Governor. A Democrat.
Michael Chertoff of the Bush Adminstration offered to take over the rescue operations the day after the hurricane. The Gov refused and said La. could handle it. Nevermind that 58,000 troops were sitting in Mississippi waiting to help.
Of course this is what the Democrat Governor told law enforcement to do with looters: "They have M16s and are locked and loaded. These troops know how to shoot and kill and I expect they will"
Democrats support the death penalty for stealing without a trial.
But let's blame Republicans for the chaos in N.O.
Now that I think about it the Tuscon shooter was probably listening to Democrats. I mean, using terms like lock and loaded and threatening to kill private citizens for stealing and all.
Oabma isn't making this decison. Same evacution of people in ktarina is responsility of the emrgency management system in new orleans. Its decisons made by the corp of engineers and the local emergency managment.
Thank you, texdav. If people watched more than 1 t.v. channel or read a newspaper, they'd have a better understanding of what's happening and why. I think FEMA learned much from Katrina...now we have the National Guard helping, as they always did in the past.
NOBODY blamed Bush for Katrina, they blamed him for his lack of response followed by pitiful response to Katrina..Letting people suffer while he did a flyover and patted Brownie and on the back was horrible.
Al Gore and other Democrats blamed global warming for Katrina. And they accused Bush of contributing to global warming.

Not sure you can blame any Govt for a Natural Disaster.
Not sure the people who were raped and killed in the Stadium or had their shops looted could blame the Govt.
Pretty sure the people there now who's areas have not been put back together since 2005 CAN blame BOTH Govts.
Get your Partisan hat off and your GOP rose coloured glasses...chuck them away and try to look at this with a open mind..... if that is possible
