Well, yeah. So now we've agreed that I'm an adult and you're an idiot.

Governor Daniels chose not to call for federal disaster aid. So, um... write him a sternly worded letter or something.
As for Kentucky and Arkansas (the only two states to fully declare an emergency, Missouri just requested aid on a limited basis), there's something like 32,000+ square miles of largely rural area to cover judging from my eyeballing of the FEMA maps. Not that I think New Orleans is any great comparison, but the entire city is 350 sq miles or approximately 1/90th the size of the current federal disaster area.
I'm not defending Obama or anything with this -- like I said, he's been on the job for ten days now and any problems in FEMA have been established through years.
