No one has denied that mistakes were made on a federal level but they began on a local and state level.

Not true, I deny that any substantial or systemic mistakes were made at the Federal level (I am sure you could nitpik and find annecdotal indications of mistakes in any operation of this size). Unlike many whose goal is to bash Bush, rather than give a sober assessment of who did and did not perform based on the pre-disaster distribution of responsibilities, I do not ascribe as "mistakes" the Federal Government "failing" to do what wasn't its responsibility or job in the first place. I rank it up there with blaming fast food companies if you get fat because you don't take the minimum expected responsibility for your own health and welfare.
The reelection of Mayor Nagin is a big, bold exclamation point on this!
