Originally posted by BTW Blanco's behavior in this disaster is inexcusable. She is acting like a spoiled child. Mary Landrieu has used it as a politcal soapbox. She reminds me of a political robot with no human feeling.Nagin made mistakes and I think he's to the point of admitting them. The headline should've read " Bush admits mistakes while the rest of the clowns sit in denial."
Originally posted by soda72 I'm glad Bush has taken responsibility for the Feds response. He needed to..."I take responsibility", are three words I doubt you will hear from the Mayor or Governor..They're too busy try'n to figure out how to make buses float on water...
Originally posted by Silat Yes and my point is that those were words we havent heard from Bush ever..............
"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government, and to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do it's job right, I take responsibility," Bush said.
