Preznit Cant B. Blamed is once again seeking ways to blame everyone else but anyone in the 1600 Crew.
Bush, who has been criticized, even by supporters, for the delayed response to the disaster, used his weekly radio address to put responsibility for the failure on lower levels of government. The magnitude of the crisis "has created tremendous problems that have strained state and local capabilities," he said. "The result is that many of our citizens simply are not getting the help they need, especially in New Orleans. And that is unacceptable."
If it were possible, I suspect that Preznit Never Responsible would find a way to blame Lyndee Englund for the shitty performance of FEMA.
Simply amazing...

But here's from todays WoPo:
"Behind the scenes, a power struggle emerged, as federal officials tried to wrest authority from Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (D). Shortly before midnight Friday, the Bush administration sent her a proposed legal memorandum asking her to request a federal takeover of the evacuation of New Orleans, a source within the state's emergency operations center said Saturday. The administration sought unified control over all local police and state National Guard units reporting to the governor. Louisiana officials rejected the request after talks throughout the night, concerned that such a move would be comparable to a federal declaration of martial law."
It was the Democratic mayor of New Orleans who let hundreds of buses get submerged rather than use them to evaucate poor people, and the Democratic governmor of LA who have proven the most incompetent.

To chester,
Yeah, it's the mayor's fault. Chimpy mcflightsuit bears no responsibility whatsover because passing the buck is what he does best.
