I am just amazed to see everyone evacuate New Orleans now and could not do it before?

Question

Now if Mayor Negan did his job last time and the State took appropriate action before Katrina there would not have been a catastrophe. Look Dem's not one person is left behind if they don't want to be, and they did this without Federal assistance. WOW if they acted this way last time it would have never been as bad as it was,and nobody took responsibility except blame BUSH. Bush did nothing now and everyone is out, this just shows how moronic the Democratic policies, and talking points really are. Now give me one good reason you would want the Democrats to run anything?

Answer 1

Louisiana has a new governor.  That's the difference.  This governor won't tell everyone that everything's fine 12 hours after the levies break.

Answer 2

It was FEMA that wasn't up to the job.  Bush stupidly gutted the national disaster agency.  It is now back up to the job.  And, you see the positive results during the mid west flood season and this hurricane.

Answer 3

i think they just didn't think the hurricane was gonna be as bad as it was the first time.

true though, the leadership sucked (not bush-related.)  They didn't take the precautions they should have, and now they know what they're up against down there in Louisiana... I don't think they'll be pulling another "katrina" again and i'M glad they're picking weird names now for the hurricanes, that way people don't have to feel bad about being named after a hurricane that killed a bunch of people and flooded a butt load of homes...I sympathize with all the Katrina's of the world.  And now all the Gustavs.

Answer 4

Has to do with the the republican governor that actually did his job instead of blaming Bush!.

Answer 5

Don't forget they had a Democrat Governor last time too.  Now that all the Gulf States are safely in the hands of Republican Governors, I doubt there will be any serious loss of life.

Answer 6

Katrina was a teacher.

People have learned.

Why did you NOT think about that?

Answer 7

Everyone evacuated because the mayor and the governor suggested it.  Most of them didn't want to have to deal with the recap of Katrina.  Did you hear the speaches?  They encouraged everyone to evacuate, has nothing to do with Bush, Dem's or Reps - it's safety first.

Good Grief!

Answer 8

After seeing how well the republicans have screwed up this country, the economy, and the military for the past 7+ years.   I will take the democrats hands down.

Answer 9

They can't...all they can do is blame Bush for EVERYTHING...when it's their own party that is inept and corrupt.  

Answer 10

Whats amazing are those bar code armbands they are putting on evacuees as they are loaded onto Amtrak trains destined for shelter and processing.

Answer 11

They had the good foresight to hold this one not only during an election year, but during a Republican Convention that the Republicans didn't really want to have.

Only the Republicans could come up with a "campaign cover-up".

Answer 12

Oh please, being an armchair quarterback is so easy.

Read this please until you get it:

New Orleans, and in fact NO CITY IN AMERICA, has the resources to deal with a disaster on the scale of Katrina. This is what a government is for.

The US government let 1500 human beings drown like rats, from the US Army Corps incompetence to the fool running FEMA.

Answer 13

Last time, is because they hadnt been thru anything like that before, they didnt know the levees would break...Come on, a hurricane doesnt hit everyday...they didnt expect it would be that bad, like it was....they figured it would be a storm, those people hadnt been thru a hurricane, they didnt know it would wipe out the whole town.....THIS TIME THEY DO, they know what they are facing, so they are getting out.

This time they expect it.

Answer 14

im from australia! but things like i agree they should of had it sorted with katrina, but it takes something to happen before they act and its stupid  they now natural disasters occour yet they wait for it to happen before tey decide "hey maybe we should evacuate these people" im sorry i dont really get politics but what i know is WHERE ARE THE REAL PEOPLE who are actually smart enough to run countries  

Answer 15

i have no clue why lol some people are nuts bush is an awesome president but i evacuated for both !!! but nothin happended the first time to my house soo well see this timee!!

Answer 16

I know this is hard for you to understand, but no one blames the storm on Bush. Bush failed to give sufficient aid those in the aftermath of the storm. Are you capable of wrapping your little brain around that? Bush has already declared federal aid to counties that may need it and the Gustav hasn't even hit yet. I wonder why?

Edit: It must be easy going through life brainwashed. Aww, look at the little republican that believes everything his little President tells him. You're such a good little republican.
