"Gideon" expounded:

Heaven forbid that a Democrat mayor, Democrat parish president,
and a Democrat governor should be held responsible for failing
to do their jobs. Please cite the text from the FEMA charter with
the guarantee that FEMA will respond in less than 72 hours. Local
government has the responsibility of being the first responder.
The feds should be coming in to handle that which the locals
can't handle - not what the locals have totally ****ed up.

It's hopeless, Gideon, you're talking to a bunch of moonbats who
refuse to see any evil in the world that isn't named George Bush.
Personal responsibility? Pshaw. The front line (mayor, governor,
state emergency response team) not their fault, they were standing
around waving their hands in the air wailing to the Feds to kiss it
and make it better. Let's not even get into the welfare state so many
of the residents of New Orleans grew up in, had no reason to leave -
the state was supposed to take care of them, they know nothing else.

No one can accuse ABC News of being a GOP smokescreen:

But hysterics and misguided opinion will lead in this group.
