Yipper, I suppose the Feds could come in and wipe everyones ass for them and wipe off all their little noses too! It was the CITIES responsibility to take care of THEIR people! The levy was rated for a catagory 3 and it seemed from watching the tube all concerned in the N.O. area thought that was more than sufficient. What the hell, blame Bush, the war, whatever!
I will agree though that FEMA was dragging its feet and I would imagine that there will be changes.
