While it doesn't directly affect me, I have relatives who are directly threatened by that exact same thing. As near as I can tell, Brown doesn't do anything he hasn't been told to do. Since everyone was on vacation, he just couldn't pull it together. Last year, when Bush was breathing down his neck, he responded. This year when no one did that, he didn't.
