Randi: Why did you not use the buses to evacuate Sunday??!?!?!

[Melodybe]

That is what we been screaming for the last few days!

Thank you Randi!

1. That's what I was wondering.

Democrats, Republicans...everyone involved in this mess needs to go.

2. My husband was screaming this on Sunday

he's a pretty easy going guy...it's rare to see him as worked up as he was when I showed him the pictures of people waiting outside of the Superdome Sunday afternoon.

12. Why every school bus on the coast wasn't being used to evacuate

is beyond me!

Why every public transit system wasn't being used to evacuate shows their abysmal lack of a planning.

3. Exactly..tell people to evacuate then don't provide a plan or help. On

Laura Flanders for Mike Malloy last night she was saying how well organized Cuba was for telling people where to go and what to do. Castro himself was on TV and said they didn't want 1 Cuban to die from the hurricane. Now if Castro can do that why can't we?

4. That is what I said. I said that on Sunday.

[faithnotgreed]

5. various people here posted that on sunday before things really hit

pointed out there are buses of all kinds that should be used to get people out

randi also said that bush and his presidency "is a category 5 disaster" and also "he IS the war on terror"

now talking about condileeza going out in nyc last night

6. The price of gas and the income of the people left

Kinda put's it in uh black and white terms, pardon the pun.

7. That would require thinking outside the box?

Ah crap! :argh: That would be a good question to ask those who where in charge at the time.

8. any one of us would make a far better president than that IDIOT. n/t

[Kashka-Kat]

9. ME TOO

we had the facts -- type 5 coming, N.O. in a bowl below sea level, relatively large percentage of people w/ little or no resources to take extended vacation somewhere....

duh!!!

10. I think it would have been worse

I saw where people tried to get out in their cars and it was just so bad they had to turn around. I think by the time they got busses in for thousands of people and got on the highway, they would have been stuck.
The only thing is that they didn't open the other side of the highway. That would have helped.
The panic came on Sunday morning and the first I saw, the highways out of town were already jammed by 10 AM EST.

11. they already used buses to get them to the dome, it would have

been 10x better to just get them out of the city using the buses... simple
