Remember the BOTCHED Katrina response by George W. Bush?

[CrazyTrader55]

This one is worse.


Biden again doing what he does best. NOTHING.
Looks like all of the money has gone to the illegals and to the Ukraine. Flyover country is just out of luck. Maybe he will send $700 of help like he did for the Hawaiians.
I can't believe half the country is ready to vote for more of the same.

The Katrina response in 2005 was botched and it was botched by a Republican - George W Bush.

The Helene response is being botched right now by Mr. Magoo and his administration.
You see, the "president" is on vacation again.
Where's Kamala?

Take your accusation of lies and shove it.

Interesting you bring this up

It also shouldn't surprise us that although Dick Cheney has stayed on vacation in Wyoming through all of this, his company, Halliburton, has already obtained a multi-million-dollar contract to profit from Hurricane Katrina's cleanup.

It's not that these conservatives are incompetent or stupid. When their interests are at stake, they can be very efficient. Consider when Hurricane Charley hit Jeb Bush's state - a year earlier than Katrina - on the second weekend of August, 2004, just months before the elections. The White House website notes:

As of noon Monday [the day after the hurricane left], in response to Hurricane Frances, FEMA and other Federal response agencies have taken the following actions:

About one hundred trucks of water and 280 trucks of ice are present or will arrive in the Jacksonville staging area today. 900,000 Meals-Ready-to-Eat are on site in Jacksonville, ready to be distributed.
-- Over 7,000 cases of food (e.g., vegetables, fruits, cheese, ham, and turkey) are scheduled to arrive in Winter Haven today. Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMAT) are on the ground and setting up comfort stations. FEMA community relations personnel will coordinate with DMATs to assist victims. -- Urban Search and Rescue Teams are completing reconnaissance missions in coordination with state officials.
-- FEMA is coordinating with the Department of Energy and the state to ensure that necessary fuel supplies can be distributed throughout the state, with a special focus on hospitals and other emergency facilities that are running on generators.
-- The Army Corps of Engineers will soon begin its efforts to provide tarps to tens of thousands of owners of homes and buildings that have seen damage to their roofs.
-- The National Guard has called up 4,100 troops in Florida, as well as thousands in other nearby states to assist in the distribution of supplies and in preparation for any flooding.
-- The Departments of Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, and Defense together have organized 300 medical personnel to be on standby. Medical personnel will begin deployment to Florida tomorrow.
-- FEMA is coordinating public information messages with Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and North Carolina so that evacuees from Florida can be informed when it is safe to return. -- In addition to federal personnel already in place to respond to Hurricane Charley, 1,000 additional community relations personnel are being deployed to Atlanta for training and further assignment in Florida.

All of this aid was vitally important to Bush family political fortunes in the upcoming election of 2004. Disaster relief checks were in the mail within a week. In just the first thirteen days after Hurricane Charley hit Florida, the White House web site notes that the Bush administration had succeeded in:

-- Registering approximately 136,000 assistance applicants
-- Approving over 13,500 applications for more than $59 million in housing assistance
-- Establishing 12 disaster recovery centers, which have assisted nearly 19,000 disaster victims
-- Deploying medical teams that have seen nearly 3,000 patients
-- Disbursing 1.2 million liters of water, 8.1 million pounds of ice, and 2 million meals and snacks
-- Delivering over 20,000 rolls of plastic sheeting and nearly 170 generators
-- Treating more than 2,900 individuals through FEMA Disaster Medical Assistance Teams, supporting damaged hospitals

That, of course, was for a Republican State, with a Republican governor, the crony brother of the President. Republicans needed to act like they cared about governing, because they wanted people to vote for them three months later.

"You Can't Govern if You Don't Believe in Government"

In a May 25, 2001 interview, Grover Norquist told National Public Radio's Mara Liasson, "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." Norquist got his wish.

September 29, 2024
WASHINGTON -- As FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell continues to meet with state and local emergency managers in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene, today, she was in several areas of Georgia assessing damage, talking with survivors and meeting with emergency workers. She will be traveling to North Carolina on Monday, Sept. 30.
In five states – Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee – federal agencies, private sector, nonprofit and faith-based organizations are responding to large disasters. Each of these states are at different stages of their response and recovery efforts. However, all states are addressing the impacts including impassable roads, communications and water systems disruptions and power outages.
President Biden approved major disaster declarations for the states of Florida and North Carolina, allowing survivors to immediately access funds and resources to jumpstart their recovery. People in 17 counties in Florida and 25 counties in North Carolina, including the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, can now apply for assistance with FEMA. People can apply in three ways: online by visiting disasterassistance.gov, calling 1-800-621-3362 or on the FEMA App.

That would be a good trick if they still had cell/internet service......Hell, 600 people are still unaccounted for due to lack of communication.

Dick Cheney is a Kamala supporter, just like you.

Actually, Pres. Bush offered to help but the Governor of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans told Bush they didn't want his help.

Just what the hell could bush have done? Not to mention there wasn't 300 roads closed in Katrina as is in NC and TN. They now have limited access to Ashville since they have opened a couple ways into the city.

Top guy is on vacation and already said that the money has run out.

He's not on vacation and money did run out of FEMA because of other disasters and your ilk in congress decided to go home instead of passing a funding bill that would have included funds for FEMA, but Matt Gaetz was on our TV station this past Friday night and said he had discussed funds with Biden and would be there from other govt monies.

Help is coming from everywhere to NC and Canada.
