This MUST get around.

It says what the governor of LA was doing and what she expected of the president, inlcuding the quote;

"I have concluded that the incident will be of such severity and magnitude that effective respose will be beyond the capabilities of state and the affected local govornments and that supplimentary federal assistance will be necessary"

Since the Repubs are trying to stick the blame directly on the Governor and Mayor, saying it was their responsibility, this will prove as invaluable counter evidence and put the blame where it belongs: on the Monkey himself.
