New Orleans D.C.

New York////////New Orleans.

Both cities shared disasters this century.

New York, the terrorist attack on the World Trade Towers. An event that was not predicted, but the city apparently had trained for such an event.

New Orleans, hit by a hurricane that was tracked for days. There was never any doubt it would hit the southern part of Louisiana.

How do they compare? Can you say....ILLUMINATING!

New York Mayor: Rudy Giuliani (Republican).....took immediate charge of the search and rescue efforts. Then succeeded in reassuring citizens of his control, and the endeavors to correct the situation were underway. [His performance was so outstanding that he is now spoken of as Presidential material]

New Orleans Mayor: Ray Nagin (Democrat)......ordered the evacuation of the city more then a day before Hurricane Katrina struck. That was it. He didn't enforce it. Large segments of the city said, "Hell No! We're not going anywhere!" The next time Mayor Nagin was seen he was whining and complaining two days after the disaster that the Federal Government was to slow, that the city, his city, was in anarchy. [It's hard to say that the Mayor lost control because he never had control].

New York Governor: George Pataki (Republican).....was immediately at the scene wearing a hard hat. He mobilized the Guard.

Louisiana Governor: Kathleen Blanco (Democrat).....I don't know what she was doing, and there is evidence she didn't know what she was doing. We only know what she didn't do.....call out the Guard to initiate rescue.

Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco adhere to the Democratic party Creed:"If you don't know what you're doing, do nothing, and blame others."

A note to New Orleans-------if you want to bow to the federal government and give-up your sovereignty as a city in the state of Louisiana, that could be arranged. You'd be called the New Orleans District of Columbia. New Orleans D.C.. You have the crime and mindset to be another D.C..
