Can Bush cite Blanco as the reason he did not respond sooner..

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

would Americans really buy that? What is she saying? Has she "officially" spelled out that she needs aid?(although it is redundant) Is he just gonna march in and say this is unacceptable as if he weren't responsible, and be MR. Hero, finally fixing the mess she couldn't?

Just rambling, because I'm afraid that's how this will go down.

1. NO - There was a disaster declaration BEFORE Katrina hit. So FEMA (Bush)

was in charge from that point on.

3. I doubt it. Bush has failed too miserably to get off the hook.

These people have been crying for aid since monday - here it is friday and NO looks like the Sudan.

Where was the federal help?????????????????

5. She's the weakest link.

She comes across very mamby pamby, so I'm going to guess that she's going to get tested.

6. HELL NO - HE RUNS THE COUNTRY, THE BUCK STOPS WITH HIM

He doesnt need anyone to ask him, he can do what needs to be done. Hes the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, COMMANDER IN CHIEF!!!
