He's the boss. The boss always get's the blame, whether it's warrented or not.porfel said:WE elect our city mayors, state governors, senators and representatives.
Why does W take the hit for what should have been done at the lowest level?
That's his own bbusiness. If I were in his place, I wouldn't have.porfel said:W says he takes responsibility. Where are the chickens that live in Louisiana?
Nice word.porfel said:Something that should have been handled by the state and local government is now politically foisted on the federal. Wrong.

To hold Nagin and his administration accountable for dropping the ball amounts to letting loose the shouts and cries of "Racism!"

I don't think so. I think he's being a rollover liberal butt-licking wuss, just like he's been for the last 5 years. He's so afraid Qpid and her ilk will say something mean about him that he does ignorant things like expect the rest of us to pay for the damage to New Orleans (that wasn't our fault, we had nothing to do with, nor should we pay for it) and taking responsiblity for the LA grifters not doing their job.aps45819 said:Maybe he's showing leadership

bedazzle said:The chain of responsibility for the protection of the citizens in New Orleans is:
1. The individuals themselves
2. The Mayor
3. The New Orleans director of Homeland Security (a political appointee of the Governor who reports to the Governor)
4. The Governor
5. The Head of Homeland Security
6. The President
Governor is the least of our problems.. have you seen the local evacuation plans?porfel said:If Maryland were to expierience something like Katrina, could we rely on our governor?
Yep, the evacuation plans if something happens at the power plant call for much of the Southern part of Calvert to drive North right past the plant.itsbob said:Governor is the least of our problems.. have you seen the local evacuation plans?
Yes, I have. I especially love the ones put out by CCNPP. Can you say 'total gridlock'?itsbob said:Governor is the least of our problems.. have you seen the local evacuation plans?
