As one FEMA official told ABC News, Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco failed to submit a request for help in a timely manner.

I still haven't figured out why everyone wants to blame the feds. Every time we have a major earthquake, or wild fires, or other natural disaster, the first thing we here is that fed assistance has been requested and granted. That shit is immediate.
The state and local government in N.O. and LA dropped the ball, big time.
