You don't suppose it has anything to do with respect for the families?

Actually, no. It has to do with limiting the damage caused by
appointing incompetent political appointees to the top posts in FEMA.
If the Bush clan had any concern or respect for the families Bush
would have appointed competent, experienced administrators to such an
important post. There are plenty of meaningless places to place folks
who you owe political favors to, and FEMA isn't one of them, as the NO
tragedy proves. Is your city next? Will you be so quick to justify
the ineptness of political appointees if it's your family and friends
who die?

Right wing, left wing, center wing, enough is enough. Important jobs
are being filled with incompetent political appointments. Everything
is now political. CIA, FBI, FEMA, UN, Supreme Court, everything is
going to the extreme. Nothing is for the good of the nation,
everything is for the good of the political party in power. Yeah, we
all sit around and squabble among ourselves, but we are the ones who
pay the price. The country is going to hell in a hand basket, nobody
is accountable for anything, and all we do is squabble among ourselves
because our "team" is in power/out of power. Fact is, both teams
suck.

Any deaths that occurred in New Orleans were the fault of the mayor and/or
the
governor. How the hell can you blame FEMA for the mayor's failure to
follow his
own plan, or the governor's failure to employ her own National Guard?

Access to New Orleans is controlled by the National Guard and local
authorities and while we are in constant contact with them, we simply cannot
enter New Orleans against their orders.

The state Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues to
request--that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans
following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating and
encourage others to come into the city.
