[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 47955"] It appears more and more of the blame game is shifting towards the governor and mayor. If you think about it , it really does make sense. FEMA is basically intact from last years many hurricanes. We can talk about leadership but that organizations key players know what they are doing. So whats really different from last year? Mississippi caught the brunt of the storm yet you heard a lot less griping and thus had a lot less problems in that state. This does seem to indicate the difference may be local leadership. Blanco was clearly indecisive and did not formally ask for additional national guards until day 3. The good mayor announces a mandatory evacuation but does not enforce it. He clearly had the means to evacuate as pictures of the 205 buses show but failed to force the issue. By the way I saw they are now calling the submerged school buses the Ray Nagin memorial motor pool. [/QUOTE]
