Only Mr. Bush, and he alone, has been given the power to cut red tape and get things done. But, since you've not moved far from this point, let's run it down: 1.) The local officials are responsible for creating the disaster plan. It sucked. 2.) FEMA is responsible for coordinating with the local officials both before and after a disaster; the latter for relief, the former for prevention. The failed on all counts. 3.) The President is responsible for monitoring the process to judge efficacy. He alone has been given the power to make any radical changes if necessary. He failed to act. As I've pointed out, there's only a few possibilities why the President failed in his responsibility and none of them involve anyone but him. Since he's the last failsafe, and failed, it's his fault ultimately. That's the burden that comes with responsibility - if he didn't want that then he shouldn't have run for President. You so stuck on this point that I'm curious about something. Something that was undoubtedly the President's responsibility was the Dept of Homeland Security. It was his job to ensure that if the unthinkable happened we'd have rapid response teams to help secure America. Clearly they've failed. What if Al Quaeda had bombed those levees? Would feel it wasn't the President's responsibility to ensure homeland security by insuring we had an effective DHS? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:172631 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
