Blame Game

Anti-Federalism proving Anti-Federalism does not work:

It orchestrated visits by cabinet members to the region, leading up to an extraordinary return visit by Mr. Bush planned for Monday, directed administration officials not to respond to attacks from Democrats on the relief efforts, and sought to move the blame for the slow response to Louisiana state officials, according to Republicans familiar with the White House plan.

If it takes Katrina to make people realize that more, not less, federal control is needed to deal with problems of a magnitude bigger than any local government or private corporation, then great. However, for the White House to lambast the blame on Louisiana, which, after having 40% of their national guard and 50% of their national guard's equipment shipped off to Iraq, could not handle this disaster by themselves is nothing short of blaming a cripple for not being able to walk out of NOLA before Katrina hit.

This disaster brought to you by the people who keep cutting federal budgets for important things and lining their own pockets with the difference, your friendly, racist, blameless GOP.
