I'm pointing at FEMA, Brownie, Blanco and Nagin.
Brown's right about how the governor and the mayor failed to get together ahead of time to make plan for the coming hurricane.
But FEMA has a responsiblity to respond to emergencies such as New Orleans right away rather than few days later.
I don't see how the president could've played a role in this. Sure he's the head of the government but give me a break, he's got more important issues like the war on terror and Iraq.

He didn't blame anybody for that, in fact Brown called those statements to be totally false. Plus, how could you blame somebody if you fuck up your resume?

I think you're blowing this out of porportion (sp). New Orleans is still around, plus the water level
could've been preventable by fixing barriers that's managed by the army engineers.
The issue isn't about what to do when a city that's about to drown under 20 feets of water, it's about how FEMA, local and state government responded to the emergency that arised after the hurricane passed through the area.
