Are the feds in NO now?

[justgamma]

I ask because their excuse was they had to wait to be asked before they could go in. If they are in there now, was it by invitation or when do they CLAIM they were asked?

God, I hope somebody understands what I'm trying to say.

1. They had to be ordered. And there were no orders. And yes, they are now.

2. They are blaming the governor for not asking the feds.

I know that she did. What I'm trying to say is they said she never requested help. But, now they are there. Do they now claim she requested the help?

5. The proof is in the request.

Yes, they were claiming that. It spun away and then the request appeared. Like everything else they do to smear someone, they let the misinformation circulate until it becomes gospel. Then no one listens to the facts.

The aid was there and waiting as we all know. After she declared the state of emergency, the (p)Resident declared a state of emergency. Then the Federal government sat around and tried to figure out who was in charge. In the meantime, aid was refused and people died.

Criminals.

3. Who do you mean by "the feds"?

Some "feds" were deployed before landfall. The problem wasn't "who's here" as much as "who's in charge?"
