This is a natural disaster and a man made catastrophe.
I can't believe all the spin that is going on right now from the "Lets NOT point fingers yet" crowed on both sides.

Yes this was a hurricane that we had no control over . I'm not outraged over things that a category five hurricane will do. That said; everything that we did have control over failed on every level, from bussing folks with no means of transportation out of harms way, to traffic control that allows evacuees to have more lanes leading out of town and leaving one lane into town. We have all been horrified about how the victims that were abandon from hospitals to rooftops.

I say heads should roll and I'm not talking about losing their jobs either. Nothing short of murder was done by the ineffectiveness of this administration. I want accountability as Bush so often says about holding others to.

1. Thank you!
I'm going to give this a "kick," as I have posted this twice and it sunk in GD.

TWO DISASTERS - one natural and one man made.

2. Thanks for the kick.
Yes this is two disasters, and sadly one of them was preventable. When the media calls this just a natural disaster they do a disservice I feel to the victims who died from human errors in judgment. They need to keep hammering into the audience that the death toll would be much less if our elected and appointed officials were competent enough to do the job which they hold. What's going on now is a vulgar display to protect their phony baloney jobs.
