Re: Does anyone on Gupshup support George W Bush?
I think when they lay the actions of La. Miss. and Alabama side by side on a timeline you will see which state and local entities mobilized, declared martial law, mandated evacuations, and pre-postioned people and resources effectively and which ones did not. Somehow I find it hard to imagine that people really think that there are vast hordes of National Government workers standing by to be dusted off in an emergency. And to somehow imagine that ONLY the Federal Government has the responsibility for the care of it’s citizens ignores about 200 years of States Rights discussions.
And by the way, to date the Governor of LA STILL has not ceded control of her National Guard to the Federal Government.
“Blanco has refused to sign over control of the National Guard to the federal government and has turned to a Clinton administration official, former Federal Emergency Management Agency chief James Lee Witt, to help run relief efforts.”
