I just believe in my soul that if it was 30,000 white people stuck at the NOLA convention center and superdome, they all wouldda been outta there by tuesday.

You are not the only one that thinks this and it pisses (excuse my language) me off. Someone shot once at you 2 days ago and they ain't been back since (and that IF they really were shot at because on NPR yesterday, they interviewed a rescue crew and they were like no one has been shooting at us)? WTF? If these are people that work in New Orleans, I'm sure they've been shot at before because all of NO's neighborhoods ain't like the French Quarter.
There is a reporter in reporting from downtown that is saying that the water has subsided and that you CAN get to the convention center / downtown by vehicle so where the heck are they???
I'm sorry to get all political but this is frickin' ridiculous. Yeah, my family is ok, but many people's are not. Those are someone's mother, father, brother, sister, daughter, son that has been left there to basically die - and for what.....because those in charge are running around like the Three Stooges.
I'm watching the President right now and I totally agree with him - the results so far are unacceptable. And they have planned poorly.
