FEMA's role in hurricanes isn't to be there immediately to rescue residents. You'd know that if you lived in a hurricane prone area. I've been through about a dozen big ones and the "drill" is always the same...if you choose not to evacuate then it's YOUR responsibility to put up enough food and water to last you until help arrives. New Orleans turned into a hell hole because the LOCALS dropped the ball on evacuating the city...and in being prepared to survive until FEMA could move in to help. Those local idiots ran out of water and food the day after the storm hit and then shot at helicopters that were trying to bring them supplies! You can't TEACH that kind of stupid!
Liberals like you like to blame FEMA for Katrina but the truth is FEMA worked great in big storms everywhere else but New Orleans because everywhere else but New Orleans did the right things in preparing for storms. It appears that Ray Nagin was more interested in helping himself to a profit from New Orleans' misfortune than he was in helping the people of New Orleans. Oh, I'm sorry...is that "racist" to point out how sleazy Nagin was because he's black? Let me be quite clear about what I think should happen to public officials who use their office to make money while the people they are supposed to be serving suffer...I think Ray Nagin should go to prison for a long...long time! What HE did in New Orleans was despicable.
Guy, you can try to polish this turd all day, but "Heckava Job" Brownie got fired.
Bush sat on his ranch all day making faces at Cindy Sheehan while a major city got washed out to sea.
Nagin could have been sacrificing babies to C'Thulhu, but that doesn't cover up the fact that Bush fucked this up massively by filling FEMA and Homeland Security with cronies who did not know what htey were doing. .
