She asked ahead of time, and Bush did declare a national emergency. He dropped the ball after that.Poor Bush. We've had a tried and true method of dealing with hurricanes for several decades but Bush couldn't follow directions apparently.
Funny how some try to rewrite history. Yeah....let the governor of the State BE IN CHARGE and then the federal government gives assistance when ASKED by the State Governor....she looked like a deer caught in the headlights when those levees broke and the city wasn't even evacuated according to NAGIN'S plan....please...continue...
Which brings up an interesting point. Y'all are heaping all the blame for this on Obama and not a single person has blamed any of the governors of the states that rim the Gulf of Mexico.... Oh, right....they are all Republicans.
Sorry...making stuff up doesn't make it fact.
Bush had to call Blanco SEVERAL TIMES TO GET HER TO BEGIN EVACUATING THE CITY...there were thousands of tons of supplies pre-staged by the National Guard but when the levees broke all of the roads were flooded....
Please continue....
and offshore drilling is controlled by the FEDS ONLY...not State governors....
