Gov. Blanco on Friday the 26th

[SHRED]

Here is a quote and a couple of links for the RW idiots who are tying to deflect blame to the State level:

"If the President determines that an emergency exists
where the primary responsibility for response rests with
the Government of the United States, or because the
emergency involves an area or facility for which the
Federal Government exercises exclusive or preeminent
primary responsibility and authority, the President may
unilaterally direct the provision of assistance under
the act and will, if practicable, consult with the
Governor of the State."
