Actually, he's kind of blaming the people.

I watched his speech. It was something like, "You need to be scared. You need to evacuate. We will not rescue you. If you do not evacuate now, it's your responsibility. Nobody will be there. There will be no immediate help". Something like that.

I was a little taken aback by it, but I understand how vital it is for him to effectively evacuate everybody now before the hurricane hits. And I certainly hope that *everybody* evacuates safely and out of harm's way!!! I feel the ominous anxiety already.

Personally, after Katrina, I'm just wondering if anybody paid attention to restoring the wetlands and if those levees are really going to do anything.
