President Bush is on the ground and is being briefed by the governors of MS and AL. He does not look amused.
Also, let's remember that Fox reported, I believe on Friday night, that President Bush had to call Gov. Blanco to say, hellllooooo, um, mandatory evacuation? Then Gov. Blanco interrupted Mayor Nagin's dinner to say, helllooooo, um, mandatory evacuation.
Do these people watch TV or look at the internet?
Update: Kathryn Jean Lopez verifies my memory at The Corner. She cites an AP story located here: http://www.nola.com/newsflash/louisiana/index.ssf?/base/news-18/1125239940201382.xml&storylist=louisiana, which indeed says that Bush called Blanco.
So, would a mandatory evacuation have been ordered at all if it weren't for Pres. Bush making that phone call?
