CNN: New Orleans mayor lashes out at feds — Nagin: ‘They are spinning and people are dying’
This is ridiculous and outrageous. Our nation is led by incompetent fools. Either they are too stupid to take care of this situation (a good start would be to round up 500 buses, get them to NOLA and load the people up… this ain’t rocket science), or they don’t care. And since I assume that we have smart people in the administration, then I think they don’t care. I don’t see any other logical explanation, than that the people standed in New Orleans are primarily poor and black, and are seen as expendable by the powers that be.
Good for Mayor Ragin for calling the feds on their lies and spin. America has had enough. Either they need to take care of this problem, or we need to impeach the whole administration for absolute incompetence in the face of a national threat. (frankly one that is way bigger than 9-11, IMHO)
Mayor Ragin should be embarrassed. He is utterly incompetent. If New Orleans has known for
100 years that this catastrophe could occur where was the city’s disaster plan? Where was the
city’s plan to evacuate the elderly, poor, and infirmed? If the Superdome was a strategic area
to move people to why was it not loaded with thousands of bottles of water and non-perishable
food? Why were the hospitals not equipped with backup generators? Where was the state of
Louisiana’s plan to house evacuees in case of a disaster? The so called leaders of the city of
New Orleans and the State of Louisiana owe their citizens an explanation for their complete
incompetence in a time of crisis. Mayor Ragin’s screaming and yelling is embarrassing. He is
definitely not Rudy Guliani.
Did you see how quickly Houston, Dallas, and the State of Texas stepped up 24-48 hours after the
flood on Tuesday? Mayor Ragin completely let his people down.

MSNBC: Why the poor stayed in New Orleans — Living paycheck to paycheck made staging a quick evacuation impossible
Mayor Nagin is an absolute incompetent fool!!! Is it the job of the federal government to babysit every single city and region
in the United States? You know what Ragin’ Nagin’s evac plan was? To have every citizen of New Orleans take someone out with
them! What a moron. All this guy does is point fingers and blame. You, Nagin, are the one that dropped the ball and acted
like a complete incompetent wreck when the worst started to happen. The people who unduly suffered need not point the blame at
Bush, they need to take a close look at their own mayor, and what could he have done to prevent the disastrous lack of response.
It runs uphill pal – Local then state THEN federal.
Look at Mississippi for example, Gov Barbour did a great job in handling that particular mess and entire towns were wiped off
the map. Shame on you, Nagin, for not stepping up and taking responsibility. All you’ve done is blame people, when, in truth,
the blame lies within! Grab a mirror!!!
