He signed the orders declaring the states eligible for Federal disaster
aid the week before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. How much earlier do you
want him to take an interest?

Whether the orders were effective soon enough is obviously open to
debate, but the Federal government did start the ball rolling before the
disaster.

There's not one thing Bush could do that could not be harshly
condemned.


I doubt he would have been condemned for taking an interest in the
disaster area a few days earlier.

When did he personally inspect the area?

Are you suggesting the Federal government is totally incapable of action
without the President looking over everybody's shoulders? The single
most important thing a President can do is issue the go order which was
done long before the actual disaster.

That's pathetic.

Do you mean when did he stage photo-ops and interrupt rescue operations with
his presence?

Go ahead Tom, go through life with blinders on. Look straight ahead
only, don't worry about peripheral vision. There's nothing important
to see along the sides of the road anyway. If things don't agree with
you, you can just magically tune them out.

You can not believe how much easier it is to read these newsgroups now
that "Jay Honeck", "Bob Noel", "Newps", "Matt Whiting", "john smith",
"Dave Stadt", "Jonathan Goodish", "Cub Driver", "Otis Winslow", "W P
Dixon", "Gig 601XL Builder" and "George Patterson" now reside in my
kill file with the other trolls. It's amazing how much of the NG's
bandwidths are wasted by the spew of these black-hearted individuals,
and how little they actually contribute to on-topic discussions.



Sweet.

Interesting comments by the talking heads this morning.
Under the Renquist court, states rights were favored.
The question today is, will the new Supreme Court justices return
control to a more federal central system?

Aren't home rule and states rights the reasons for the New Orleans and
Lousiana debacles.

How could the federal government have enforced the madatory evacuation
order when the local and state didn't even bother?

I'd say it beats the option of goosestepping in Red Square with Komrade
Fleischman anyday!
