The real NATIONAL disaster is that so many who cry about this don't understand the checks & balances system. You know we had a War about State's Rights once, The War of Northern Aggression. Again, had the people done as the were told, and followed their own laws, this wouldn't be an issue, but in a demacrook liberal Utopia, they aren't help accountable for their own actions or inactions

Oh, but they did ask... and the White House said 'sure'. Not an 'OP-ED' article, but press releases... (I posted this in another thread)
Saturday, August 27
GOV. BLANCO ASKS BUSH TO DECLARE FEDERAL STATE OF EMERGENCY IN LOUISIANA: “I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected local governments, and that supplementary Federal assistance is necessary to save lives, protect property, public health, and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a disaster.”
[Office of the Governor]
FEDERAL EMERGENCY DECLARED, DHS AND FEMA GIVEN FULL AUTHORITY TO RESPOND TO KATRINA: “Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency.”
[White House]

Again, I wonder if I'm posting responses to trolls or people that are actually insane.
