I am of the mindset of a person that left his house early, I am assuming you still live with your mother... So the mindset of accepting responsibility is a foreign concept for you.
By your logic, if Washington D.C. was vaporized we would all not know what to do.
The states are supposed to function as images of the roles of the federal government and handle their own affairs. The people of Lousianna elected these people as their care takers, and reinforced this with their tax dollars. Who failed? I know your answer, so no need to respond... I know Mommy should have been there to hold the hands of these 'adults'.
It is clear you are hell bent on pointing the finger at Washington D.C. When if you actually threw your ideologoy away and looked at the situation would have to agree the people of LA were let down by their fellow man first and foremost, the local government second, and maybe their Mommy (Federal Government lastly).
Your profile claims you are from NYC. If this is the case... during 911 who helped first? Fellow man... Police and Fire Rescue Second: Governor Third: Federal Government
WHY SHOULD THIS CASE BE ANY DIFFERENT??? The Mayor on up to the Governor failed. The police RAN!! FUCKING RAN AND COMMITED SUICIDE! Let me repeat, the CIVIL SERVANTS FUCKING RAN! RAN! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!

Now I know you are completely full of shite. 9-11 is one thing I know about, having lived 2 blocks from the WTC. You met your match on this one, mr. un-informed.
There were troops on the ground the day it happened. I know, because I had to go thru their roadblocks to try and get my dogs out of my loft. I also had to get an escort the following day, to try and get my financial records and family photo's. Funny how things like that matter when you lose all your stuff. Yep, I was standing as hummers were going by in my neighborhood, with machine guns at the ready. On the SECOND day!
While you were sitting at home jacking off that day, I was running for my life with my 6 month old son under my arm. I don't expect a keyboard warrior like you to understand. I have seen first hand what happens when our gov. fails us. People look like exploding pumpkins when they hit from 80+ stories.Once again I don't expect you to understand. Shit you probably thing Iraq had something to do with it, judging from your slant on things.
I agree that there was a failure on every level, but this is the second time that Bush has fucked up. First time, by not putting terrorism on the front burner, when he was warned by everyone who knew. Maybe do a little light reading, it's called the 9-11 report. Second by not being there when he was needed, as there was no other leadership.
You can't honestly say, that he should have been in California the day after this disaster. Get real. I can't believe, just from a political standpoint alone, that it would look better if he was at the white house. Even if he wasn't doing anything, just the idea that he was, would have made him look a hell of a lot better.
He wants a legacy. I can tell you what it is gonna be, The most corrupt, and inept administration that we have ever had. Remember, they still are working on that investigation about Rove. These guys make Nixon look like a fucking saint. I voted for his father, but the best part of this president will be when he leaves office.
