Last night's A...This makes my head want to explode. Last night's Al Franken show laid it out as clear as could be. Governor Blanco asked GWB to federalize the emergency on August 26th; more than <I>two days</I> before it made landfall. On the 27th he wrote her back confirming the request. That means that she requested that the federal government handle the emergency, not local agencies, and he accepted her request! So when one of his state governors asked him to lead, he took the baton then whizzed it all down his leg. Remember that GWB himself "nominated" Michael Brown (a man with NO prior emergency management experience) to head FEMA. So yeah, the buck stops at the president on this one (too).<BR/> -AstroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
