Former state legislator puts blame directly on Nagin and Blanco

JR · 09-07-2005

ok... let me preface this by saying BUSH SUCKS!

.... then i would like to say that i fail to see why people don't understand that these are state issues (preparedness, evacuation plans and their execution etc). the federal government is not responsible for thier failures. furthermore, the federal government can only assist states upon request... they can't just jump in with troops and start marching down the street all willy nilly with machine guns and rocket launchers. thats how our country is designed.

XxXotic, "current officials are to blame" because the current officials are the current officials. who should bare the blame? the French? Christopher Columbus? The Puritans? Julius Ceasar? regardless of what happened 5 years ago, 10 years ago or 300 years ago, its the obligation of the current state and city administration to deal with these threats and protect the people. as governor, you can't say "this should have been dealt with 40 years ago, so its not my problem or responisibility"
