The mayor governor may have messed up getting ready for it. But the main reason for all this hooblah , is when help was called on from the gov't it took soo long for it to come. When it should have been ready, b/c none of this was a suprisem ut was expected.


well from first reports, the levee's were intact...and if you actually stayed up late or woke up really early monday, you wouldve seen that in NO, there was no flooding, damage yes....but no flooding till the levee gave.

why does the national guard have to be on the way? on the way from where? Louisiana has a national guard unit, but they were not fully moblized by the Govenor. Why does every other national guard unit have to be mobilized?

the fact is, you have a bunch of lower class people who are just looking for handouts and nothing will satisfy them because they constantly want more and they want people to sympathize with them......take a good look at Mississippi....do you see any rioting? do you see any complaints flooding the tv's? no....

look at the smaller parishes surrounding NO, were they looting, were they complaining? and did you know that those smaller parishes didnt get help well after NO was handled.
