You really should re-read exactly what went down with katrina, there is enough blame to go around, but the bulk of it lands on Bush, and his appointee to fema, a man who should not have had ANY such power as he had 0 experience at the job, and was appointed to the position out of nepitism and favor returning.

The local government had flaws, but nothing NEARLY as bad.  For example, the mismanagement of aide bieng shipped to other states (even the other fucking direction) due to fema.   The fact that the Fema director seemed more concerned with his hair/looks/makeup than with the job of SAVING PEOPLE!!!!.  &nbs p;  Bush's disgustingly lacking understanding that his Appointee was mismanaging the entire thing. 

To blame the local government and Mother nature soley for this mans ineptitude is Ignorant and blatantly retarded.

and to blame the citizens on there inability to evacuate locally?  the entire city was inundated, bus's did not have the capabilities of evacuating even a PORTION of the total populace, hence why bus's were asked for but did not arrive for days (fema director did not sign off on the paperwork or organize the bus's to evacuate people). 

Even the most organized populace STILL would of suffered tremendous losses, as the bus/people ratio was Severely and grossly innapropriate.   Its just like the titanic, only even worse, there were not enough life boats for the passengers.

Bush was the leader in charge, not the libs,  Congress holds 0 power when it comes to Fema/emergency relief etc,  That is ALL dictated by the president.    ; You want to claim liberals were in power?  heh...  mebe politically but really your ignorance is showing.  when it comes to emergency management there were 2 talking heads that were in charge, that was the fema director and BUSH. 

Neither one of which did their job to even 20% of effectiveness, and people died because of it. 

Bush deserves to be imprissoned for gross negligence and incompetance.   And the fema director should spend the rest of his life bieng told he took a job he KNEW he was not qualified nor skilled enough to do, while hes sitting in the same cell as bush.
