Post Katrina Thoughts

Something crossed my mind today..... Ok, FEMA and the Federal government and of course republicans under fire are placing blame for failures in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina on local governments in Louisiana.... right? They blame their plans, response, etc. But give thought to this... Louisiana is not the only area hit, in fact Mississippi was hit with the Hurricane and had horrible damage and they were not getting any more assistance than Louisiana but you don't hear that in the news and what more.... you don't hear the republicans blaming those local officials.... Hmmmm could it be that the real problem here was the Federal response? Putting politics aside because republican or democrat they all defend their side when under fire but why can't they just admit they failed these areas and make the necessary changes to prevent it in the future. It is obvious that the government did fail because just watch how they are reacting for Rita. This same response should have been seen prior to Katrina.
