I think it depends on who we are "grading". If we are grading the American people, then you have to include the unbelievably brave and dedicated Coast Guard folks who saved people from rooftops, the private citizens who drove to the Gulf Coast loaded with supplies (I think Chris Mathews documented much of this), and anyone who donated money to the relief effort. You have to include the people in NO who set up a volunteer soup kitchen to feed their neighbors ( I saw them on CNN). And anybody who has ofered to "adopt" a refugee family.
All of those combined efforts may have had only a small impact, but they should not be forgotten.

Amen to that! They are the true heroes.
Reminds me of how NY's acted on 9/11 and the North East blackout.
Made me proud to be a NY'r and an American.
