Exactly. Go and LISTEN to this man speak. Pay attention to both his IDEAS, and his ARTICULATION.
Then realize: THIS is the leader of New Orleans.
.....and then, I believe that you might understand how this catastrophe happened, and NOTHING meaningful was done until the Louisiana governor and the fed stepped in....
Notice how he had high praise for the GENERAL who stepped off a chopper and started cussing at people, and things started happening?
What did that General actually do, when it comes right down to it? He put his foot down. He gave orders. HE EXERCISED LEADERSHIP.
....and if Nagin is in awe of THAT, it speaks volumes to the quality of his OWN leadership skills.
