There is really a fundamental problem with this picture. This concept that there is some "entitlement" to have government swoop in and save you from a natural disaster is absurd. Absurd? Its been the policy of the US for nearly a hundred years. It dates from frontier times when your neighbor helped you in a time of need. And its been in the bible for at least two millennia. To think otherwise is very unAmerican and unChristian. Disasters happen, people die, government does what it can. That was exactly the attitude of Brown and Chertnoff. That's why this disaster response was a disaster. How ANYONE could bitch about the government response when FEMA is handing these people more cash than most had net worth, is just beyond me. That's the problem. They're not. And that's what Barbara Bush said and she's being vilified. You all don't understand how crude you all sound to the rest of us. I feel for these people. No, you don't. You only feel for yourself and your family. But government cannot and should not solve all problems. The gov't is there to help them. It has failed that role miserably.
