The city and state should have had effective evacuation plans ready.

The city should have had their shelters stocked with supplies for those they knew wouldn't/couldn't evacuate.

Because they blew it, the Federal responders had to change their plans from rescuing dying people to flying in supplies to the shelters and keep law and order in the community. Thousands of people have died because of the city's lack of basic preparation.

The fact is that the governor is a democrat, if she were a republican you can be sure the finger pointing would have started the very first day of this disaster. I saw an op-ed piece where Robert Kennedy Jr was blaming the hurricane directly on MS Governor Haley Barbour, and I'm sure everyone has seen the Bush bashing going on.
