Well, if it was something brought up several times to Washington, and they did nothing about it, yes it CAN be blamed on the Feds.

This is something that can't be blamed on the President. It all comes down to the local mayor/councilpeople/governor etc.
What I mean is that the Fed Gov't cannot be blamed for every single disaster that comes along.
Did the Mayor of New Orleans run on a platform that said that the levees have to be fixed? NO.
Did the governor? NO.
Did any of the elected officials in the parish run on that issue? NO.

The Fed gov has committed to help again and again and then revoked the allocated funding.
They are responsible. Sadly many Americans will let the bastards off. The govt will deny their responsibility and thank other politicians for hard work. Then those politicians will agree there was no responsiblity and thank other politicians. We're being punked.

But am I right in thinking that the Federal government cannot intervene in State matters?
Americans pay more to Feds that to State in taxes. It's up the the Feds to step up with those bucks. Otherwise they are being misappropriated.
