I was there myself and remember her saying that.  I have a very vivid memory being at home packing my go bags when I saw Bush on TV saying he has already authorized all assistance. It was a relief to know help was on the way.  All the feds needed was for her to sign and accept. Then that bitch said no.  They couldn't risk the feds auditing federal funds that were missing that were intended to improve the levee system.  Corp of Engineers is just as guilty.  My home was in lakeview .. and I blame all of those Demonrats for losing everything I owned.
