They are so busy trying to place the blame on the Mayor and Governor
that they forget; this was out there for the world to see for itself-and even though some networks will do whatever it takes to outFOX the American public, too many cameras were there this time. When I attended NCOA there was one thing that was driven home " Seek responsibility and Accept Responsibility for your Actions"; someone should drive that home for this administration.
Oh, I forgot-they didn't serve.
This time though I think this is something you should read for yourself.
This is something that I came across today.

It says, "A Sept. 4 article on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina incorrectly said that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (D) had not declared a state of emergency.
