Mayor of New Orleans
Is truly an ass. Now he is threatening a forced evacuation for those still in the city. Great. Where was this before the hurricane? Nice job, Mayor. Keep screaming about the loss of life being the Bush administration's fault, maybe someone will believe you ... oh, wait, the mainstream media does not need to believe you to keep shouting the same crap.
FEMA is not a quick response agency. Again, the immediate responsibilty for people remaining in New Orleans should fall squarely on the shoulders of the mayor and the governor.
I heard that within 5 days of Katrina, 20,000 national guardsmen have been dispersed to New Orleans. Within 4 days of Andrew, a category 5 hurricane, 15,000 national guardsmane were dispersed. Maybe the reaction of the feds wasn't that off. Most is likely to turn out to be hype and spin to discredit the current administration.
My new job is going well. I really enjoy it here and am learning/doing many more things than prior. I am glad to have been given an opportunity here.

After doing some reading on the handling of the Katrina disaster I agree that the local authorities bear the most responsibility for the failure of the relief effort. The federal governemnt does not get off scott free and mistakes were made but the mayor and governor seem quite inept. I would note however that Brown resigned today and that he was not qualified for the position that he was appointed to.
