10. I think she looks exhausted. |
|
The Federal Government has ignored her requests and are doing exactly what they've felt like doing, which is not damned much.

DAYS ago she was saying she was promised help and hasn't seen it and was getting frustrated.
Perhaps the "talking point da jour" is "It's Gov. Blanco's fault? hmmm?"

I can not believe she is not pointing out the disaster that is FEMA! Perhaps she has been threatened? There is no excuse.

Not take care of FEMA. Mr. Fubar is charged with that. Does he do it? NOoooooooooooo. What does he do? Carry the dog, chop a branch, ride a bike, fall off a bike . etc. IOW. Not fucking much. And people die due his incompetence. Every day and in every way.

38. I don't think the Feds have the troops they say they have... |
|
Every military organization has a 90/10 ratio of "support personnel" versus "on the ground with weapons personnel".
I submit the 60% of the NG that is still here has a WAY larger ratio and finding anything like a sufficient number of TRAINED Guardsmen with weapons so that order can be restored may well be an impossible task.

taken this bull by the horns instead of attending fundraisers, eating cake and strumming on guitars! This is a DISASTER and HE is responsible for getting the help to the people of NO! He knew what happened! Why should she be the scapegoat here? What about FEMA and Homeland Security? Was she suppose to ask for them to come in also? IMCPO....THE BLAME FOR THIS INCOMPETENCE LIES AT THE IDIOT'S FEET. STARTING WITH CUTTING FUNDS FOR THE LEVEES TO GETTING THE REQUIRED HELP THEY NEEDED IN NO. That piece of shit is trying to blame eveyone but himself. I hope his cake tasted good. :grr:

stop playing nice and using "southern etique" to make her point. I think she really does care and is doing all she can under the circumstances, but she is a new governor and this is a situation never seen before in this country.

44. I think the reason that Miles O'Brien is drilling her so hard |
|
Is because you have Chertoff (Homeland Security) and Mike (Baghdad Bob) Brown (FEMA) saying that they haven't been asked for specifics until yesterday morning. I think that O'Brien is just trying to let us know that the Governor did make these requests early on. Which she did, I think I saw on Monday or Tuesday begging for help.

Of course FUBAR appointed people with ZERO experience (the same as his) to oversee operations.

60. This is a national emergency, therefore the leader of our nation - |
|
President Bush and his administration - is most responsible for complete lack of leadership and command of this situation.
But this is not the time to go soft on ANY gov't official simply because of party affiliation.
This is why I'm an independent - truth gets lost in partisan bullshit. I can't stand ideologues who keep score every second. "who goes first" - grow up.
