Re: Try Consistency (none / 0)

And you know what, putting them in that big structure was exactly the right decision.  The only problem is it counts on the federal government to hold up its end of the bargain to come in after the storm and supply relief.  The federal government failed.  George Bush screwed those people and there is simply no excuse for the negligence shown by this government.  As for a plan, guess what, thats what the federal government and FEMA is there for.  To protect us, to relieve us, to help us in times of crisis and they failed completely.  They failed not because it was inevitable, they failed because the leadership is incompetent.  It took SHAME to get them off their asses.  Those buses are a red herring and you know it.  Your playing a game either with us or with yourself.  It won't work.  They couldn't have been trusted to do the job, they couldn't have been moved to pickup people from all over the city in a day and not end up clogging up traffic more than was already causing problems.  And on top of that they were not enough.  Here's a game for you.  Bush probably played it as a kid.  Apparently he wasn't very good then either because he just got caught with the hot potato.  He's the man in the seat, he's the guy in charge, he is responsible for this governments failings.  The response to this disaster can be taken as nothing less than what we would receive in the event of a nuclear weapon, dirty bomb, terrorists blowing the levees, a biological disaster.  The only thing is we got off lucky that it was only a category 5 hurricane and it did as little damage as it did compared to some of the alternatives.  I've been consistent from the start.  The feds are to blame, the local and state governemnts did everything in their power and made the right decisions assuming the federal government is to hold up its end of the bargain.
