Re: "Where was the federal government?"

"When Katrina hit, some people wanted to know why the feds didn't send in troops to keep order."

The KKK/Blackwater people may have wondered that -- what the rest of us want to know is why the feds didn't send in *food, water and meds*. Also why the feds *prevented* private parties and other oganizations, including some military, from sending in food water and meds.

No amount of "but first -- send the marines" is of any help there at all.

Have whatever values you have. That's what America is for.
You don't need George Bush for that.

Good point

The original question was, "Where are the feds?"

Bush pushes for legislation authorizing troops, and people say, "Whoa, I didn't say troops!"

Once again, solving the wrong problem.
