Low on Gas, Call off School?

The parents of many Atlanta Georgia students, were furious to find that governor Perdue had closed the school for two days due to possible fuel shortages. These were found to be unnecessary after hurricane Rita was less damaging than expected, but no one could have predicted the amount of disaster, but it still upset the parents. Many had to scrabble to find sitters or stay home from work in order to watch their child because the day cares were full. The governor was praised when President Bush stated that it, "showed some leadership" in "anticipating a problem." Other state and local party democrats weren't so supportive, they began to question his priorities if schools were the first thing he's willing to close down.
