The PResident can not send in troops unless the Govenor reliquish 
control to him.  That is the law.  Yet you imply that the President 
should ignore the law?

If you read the declarion made on the 29th of aug you will see that it 
was there.  What you saw on the 26th was a list of the non emergency 
parishes.  Simply a mistake that in no way caused any problem.  You are 
just Tilting at windmills.

First, Blanco got the promise of help. Period.  She had to give nothing 
to get the FEMA relief as described in the Stafford Act.

Secondly, the President can not send in Federal troops unless the 
Govenor reliquishes control.  That is because the National Guard would 
be used by it being  federalized and is at the direction of the 
President.  The Govenor did not want to give up control thereby 
preventing the use of federal troops.  That is the LAW  Look it up in 
the USC.

No you have proven yourself to be such.
