yes, it is horrible. Although the feds were a little fuddled once they got the ball they COULD NOT respond till the gov of LA gave them a yes. SHE felt that it would be better to wait awhile and see just how bad it was. BUsh's failing(notice the finger pointing) was in putting in a head of FEMA who didn't think to make plans just incase. That aside, having been around for those big movements it seems to atleast 2 days to get everything together and onsite.
As for blaming the victims. No, I would not blame the victims. But the victims should blame their own local reps first and then move up the line. If it reaches the presidents office fine.
As for Bush walking on this one, fuck people you make it sound like his personal fault that the levees were not reinforced and maintained and that the local organization was terrible or that he couldn't wave his dick and make 40,000 troops appear in a place were frankly they couldnt do anything in the first two days anyway. Why didn't the Govenor have the State national Gaurd on site before hand? Yes a portion of them are over seas but there are more than enough left with proper leadership. The state didn't have it.
The States are responsible for first response. I realize this is confusing to the liberal mind amoung us as this concept involves personal responsibility as well and self sufficiance. Two thing liberals seem to be against. Lets remember that Clinton fail us just as often as Bush. Atleast Bush is amusing to listen to.
When all is said and done it will be what wasn't done before the storm rather than what came after that is really the issue. In the mean time I send what I can spare to those in need and prepare myself for the storm that seems to be heading toward the SC coast.
