Replies to '08/29 Hurricane Katrina: One Year Later, Part 2'

I think its a cheap shot for people to say all the problems as a result of Katrina are all Bush's fault. I hear it everyday and it's so old. Yes he has indeed screwed up other things for sure and is a definite contributor to the mess here but come on, where is the responsibility of the Mayor?? The Governor?? National Guard screwed up too. Where is the responsibility at the state and local levels? They are the first responders. They are elected for a reason, an it's not to just pack the buck up the line. State and local officials waited until just 19 hours before the hurricane hit to decide "Gee looks serious, we might want to order a mandatory evacuation now!" I'm politically unaffiliated and after the pathetic actions of politicians like these, proud to be! I hope the people of New Oleans, Mississippi, Alabama, and others affected will hold the appropriate people accountable at the polls this November and get this behind them (as much as possible).
