Shame on the Governor of Louisiana for not accepting the Government's help
in the early evacuation of New Orleans. The Government offered 48 hours
before Katrina hit to lead the evacuation of New Orleans, but because of her
own political reasons, she choose not to accept. Thousands of lives could
have been saved if she ordered the evacuation earlier. If the Governor of
Louisiana did her job, she could have had help there immediately. Only she
has the authority to call in the National Guard. If she had turned over
control to the Government right away, things would have been much different.
Despite what people believe, the Government does have policies it has to
follow. It's just unfortunate that people only hear one side to the story
in the main stream media and assume that it's always right. Do I think the
Government could have done things better? Yes. Do I think the Governor
could have done things better? Yes. On Sept 11 in New York was the
Governments response slow? No. Why is was that? Because the Governor and
Mayor turned over authority to the Government when they offered to help.
