A corp of engineers should have refurbished the Island.Of course it is, and it is the responsibility of the president to lead the rescue amd recovery efforts by allocating the resources available to him. Similarly, Obama deserved criticism for the poor handling of the Flint crisis.It's not the presidents job to prepare for every single random unexpected natural disaster on the planet.
I disagree. Sorry, that is just wrong.
By the way... you do know that the Federal government has no resources right?
FEMA doesn't have resources. You do know that?
FEMA only attempts to coordinate resources between states. So X state says they need water, and FEMA finds Z state has water, and then sends trucks from Y state, to get the water from Z state, to deliver it to X state.
FEMA doesn't have resources. The Federal government doesn't have endless stock piles of 'resources' just waiting to be delivered to states.
This is why FEMA always ends up doing poorly.... unless the resources needed happen to already be where they are needed, and then FEMA plants their flag on stuff, and says didn't we do a good job?
Walmart provided more assistance than FEMA for most of Katrina. (if not all).
