And I would take that bet. The main objection to Governor Blanco's response has been that she didn't "ask for help in the right way." Of course the record is pretty clear that she was asking everyone she could access on the federal level for "help." It may very well be fair to say that she didn't ask for the right specific types of help she needed. She is a former school teacher, with little or no experience with disaster management. It's also very fair to say that the people who did have this experience at FEMA were either laid off due to "Homeland Security" restructuring, Republican budget cuts, or not mobilized by the FEMA chief Michael Brown.
