The country ain't lead by George, it's lead by a large room full of suits.
I agree with you all on the food issue. But give a few seconds thought to what would happen if a small infection or disease broke out? How quickly would something like that spread? It would be like a Genocide of Louisiana.
This ain't the place to talk such things of course, but just food for thought. I mean, cause people enjoy bashing George. If you woke up one morning and there was water half way up your 2nd story house, would you give a crap what the President is doing right then? I mean, it's just about survival.
You local emergency sources kick in, then your county, then your statewide, then last of all the country's own resources. I don't know, it's not like Bush was the first person to hear about flooding while everybody else sat around clueless. Everybody else new about it before he did I'm sure. Only until his advisors inform him of things does he know about it.
