27. The freaking GOVERNOR doesn't sit around all day, every day
making computer models of potential disasters and planning response. Guess what, that's what FEMA DOES!!!! THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE FOR!

They *asked* for help. That's why the state was declared a national emergency BEFORE Katrina even hit - so that aid would be immediately available.

The fucking last superpower, richest nation in the world with the strongest and most capable military in the world apparently "can't handle" this. You expect a governor and a mayor to be able to?

Newsflash - most of the aid and relief that HAS taken place has been through local means.
