Yesterday I heard an interview with the mayor of New Orleans and it sounded like he wanted to assign blame and pass the buck. The governor hasn't been much better, at least with what they've shown on the National level.
When the going gets tough and lives are on the line and someone asks who's fault it is you don't point fingers. You stand up and say "I don't give a damn who's fault it is but we're the ones who are going to fix it."
These people need LEADERSHIP. Not a bunch of political backbiting. The people that are in charge need to take charge. I still haven't seen much of that.

But things need to change, and that asks for some political backbiting.....altough I agree that they should wait a little while with that. As I see it more taxes is the only way to go.
