The point should be that FEMA has been responding to disasters effectively and efficiently under the Obama administration. The whole scandal under Bush and the FEMA response to Hurricane Katrina was that FEMA did not do its job and Bush did not pay attention to that fact. Bush's response was the famous "Good job, Brownie" which showed his total disassociation with what was happening.

The mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Louisiana didn't allow FEMA to do it's job, if you don't recall.

ARLINGTON, Va. (Army News Service, Aug. 27, 2010) -- Aug. 29 marks the fifth anniversary of what has been described as the "finest hour" in the National Guard's near 400-year history by the former chief of the National Guard Bureau.

"By any measure, it was the fastest, most massive military response to any natural disaster that has ever happened," retired Army Lt. Gen. H Steven Blum said in a recent interview. "Our response was the epitome of what the National Guard is and why it is a national treasure."

Hurricane Katrina, a category five on the Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale, caused an estimated $81 billion worth of damage, took more than 1,800 lives and forced nearly 1.2 million Gulf Coast residents to evacuate.

However, the preparation and actions of the more than 50,000 National Guardsmen made the difference in lives saved and lives lost, said Blum.

"It all converged. It all came together, so that when we were needed, we were there," he said.

allow the water to go down and be able to see the damage better, and see the federal agencies at work doing their job seems logical ... but when have RW's ever been logical >

If you wait 'til thw water goes down, you can see how many homes were UNDER water...you stupid liberal rationaliser. Obama is a careless POS who doesn't want to have his vacations interrupted by catastrophe in a state that hasn't voted Democrat since 2000.
