New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson has an interesting perspective (that will probably kill the remote chance he has of being the Democratic nominee for President in 2008):


Richardson blames bureaucracy
Governor says red tape prevented help from getting to New Orleans any sooner


Dana L. Bowley El Defensor Chieftain Editor,

Red tape and bureaucracy, not specific government officials, were to blame for the delay in getting emergency aid to stranded residents of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Gov. Bill Richardson says.
"I'm not going to blame the president," Richardson told a breakfast crowd at a Democratic Party fundraiser Saturday in Socorro. "Our system is so bureaucratic that it's difficult to get things done."
For example, he said, he authorized the deployment of New Mexico National Guard members on Tuesday, but because of red tape and bureaucracy, "they just left Friday ... They stood around waiting for three days."
