Until you know exactly what help Gov. Blanco asked for, you are only guessing. Bush is not the problem. He is not a cowboy heading a posse bent on slaying the guys with black hats. There are rules set up to protect the states from federal government abuse. If Ms. Blanco made spit-wads in civics class, she should have made up for it by studying same after being elected governor. The mess is largely her doing and she should resign as soon as the New Orleans mess is cleaned up.
