>SilentZ has the right perspective, but he can't deny that the Democrats capitalized politically on the whole FEMA blame game back in 2005. Remember Kanye West claiming that Bush hated black people? Wonder if SilentZ said, "Oh screw that," or whether he nodded his head in agreement.

It wasn't a blame game. The Bush administration screwed up and there was blame to go around. And listen to Christie... I personally feel that he actually screwed the pooch on his 2016 ambitions thanks to his complimenting Obama on how he's handling the hurricane. But he's right. And there are a whole bunch of politicians that i really don't like at all and hope to not see in office going forward that happen to be doing a pretty good job here.

As for Kanye West, I didn't really know who he was then and I barely do now. I don't take much stock in what "celebrities" say. And I don't think that Bush hates black people. I don't think he really cared much about poor people, though.

I'm still not entirely sure what you expected FEMA to do that it hasn't done. It seemed to be right on top of this, despite the fact that Sandy was very, very different from Katrina and was basically unprecedented. Can you be more specific?
