Isn't FEMA a Agency, hence the Federal Emergency Management Agency?

and maybe the Army corp of engineers for not reinforcing those levees later on.

They didn't have funding. They cannot do anything if the government won't give funding. (sadly 40 years ago in that area there was another hurricane and they tried to say then that major fixes would be needed to levees).

Of COURSE if you keep these 2 clearly alike entities seperate, we are going to pay more taxes, you yourself ewm went on and bitched about our deficit and wondered why the president didn't find more ways to fix the problem. That is quite hipicritical of you ewm.

Large governments = Taking longer to function, more people employed, less money for other things.

Hence, the only thing you can really blame any of this on is the weather, and maybe the Army corp of engineers for not reinforcing those levees later on.

no i dont wonder whare he can get more munny thare are several ways he can get more munny like roling back tax cuts for the rich or cuting some of that pock baril spinding he has going on such as bilding a bring up in alsica for 3 or 4 cars a day that i herd about resontly.

the dimacras idea of big goverment allso makes sher than welth is evinly shared from small guy to humugins guy.

more pepal enpolyed meens for munny those pepal how are inpolyed have to paiy taix like evry one elss and a peron with a job meens less munny spint on uninpolment fether more that person must spind his or her muny making sher the aconnmy is strong. in the end thare is is just as munch munny avilibal from a gig goverment to a small goverment. the smaler goverment has less groth the biger govermeny has more.

naw you chaging it i thot you sed bush was bad for hiering the hed of fema. naw its no ones folt? no one told the army core of engineers to fix the levy or gave tham funnding to do so.

This really has nothing to do with programs, what is needed and what has been delivered is helicopters, personel to do ground searches, MREs, fresh water, and transportation to refugee camps. Relocating an entire city in 2 weeks is not an easy task and I think our armed forces has done superbly considering everything thats happened.

You can technically blame everyone and also technically blame no one for the levees. President for not telling someone to fix it, FEMA for being kinda late on the rescuing, Corp of engineers for not informing anyone that the levees would break. Of course out of the 3, the democrats go for their favorite target, BUSH.

Big governments take much longer to pass laws, solve problems, get things done, cost alot more money, etc etc. Ours is too large as it is, I know how you democrats love your huge communist style governments where everyone is supposibly equal, but history shows us that failed badly.

dude, with the best will in the world, you can't prevent a hurricane. maybe they could have taken better precautions for it, but it all comes down to the location. New Orleans is quite a bit below sea level, whatever precautions which WOULD have been there, probably wouldn't have done much when faced with that much flooding. & of course now you have the stubborn idiots there who just refuse to evacuate, even now . i mean what personal posetions do they think they are gonna be able to recover when the flooding dies down? not exactly helping themselves are they?

Cpt Ryan i agree.

what i am saying is alot of the distrution cood have ben previnted by 1)upgrading the levys 2) makeing sher the goverment is perpared to helandal a werst case sunareo 3) make sher thares away to get evry one out safly or make sher thares a nuff care for tham.

some of the pepal how chose not to evacuate had resons whay thay did not wont to. one case that came to my atinchon was a latey how was blind and reliyed on her seing eye dog to gide her. she whood not evacuate with out her servis dog.

on the uther hands thare whare some pepal how did not wont to evcuate for eny nuber of of emoshanal probloms.

Well i'm sorry I realise the president can't control the weather. I mean seriously, how is this his fault? Everyone was rescued as soon as it was possible, the damage is being reversed, how is any of this possibly the presidents fault?

Exactly Ryan, you can't do much against a cat 5.

I'm quite sure he wasen't even informed of a levee situation, thats prolly pretty low on any list until recently. Help was there the next day, don't expect 10,000 rescue workers within 10 minutes ewm. FEMA did get everything done, even if very late because of the idiot at the helm.

He is referring to those who would attempt to reach those higher expectations that you think ewm90 hopes to be reached.
