I have been reading articles over the weekend stating that these people knew about this situation for the past 15 years.

I am also pissed at the Mayor of New Orleans. He was quoted as saying "Heads should roll for this." I think the first head to roll should be his. A news reporter asked him some tough questions such as:

1) Why weren't the people bused out of the Superdome and Convention Center before the storm hit?

2) Why wasn't there food and water at the Superdome and Convention Center if they were planned evacuation sites?

3) Why didn't New Orleans have a better disaster plan if they knew this was a potential problem?

Every time he was asked a question that pertained to him, he tried to change it to a federal government issue.

As far as I am concerned, both the Mayor of New Orleans, the Governor of Louisianna, and the President of the United States failed these people, with most of the blame falling in that order.
