I'm sensing more "humor" here. Perhaps it wouldn't have taken a week to mobilize the national guard, something that is completely constitutional, had the president not been so insulated from bad news.
This is a tangent, but I have a good friend who was in New Orleans during the storm and for a week afterward. His impressions of what went on were starkly different from the way things were portrayed by right-wing media outlets. Mayor Nagin was on the local radio every night coordinating the response and talking to the citizens. During the day he was out on boats pulling people to safety, well before the national guard got in the act. If we're catagorizing people Ray Nagin belongs with the Rudy Gulianis not with the Michael Browns.
