Inode, I think that people were conditioned to believe that it's FEMA's responsibility to help everyone affected by a hurricane. This was because after the Hurricane Katrina disaster, so many people needed to point the finger somewhere, and Bush and FEMA became a convenient scapegoat. Well seven years have passed since then, and with all this talk about hurricanes being the new norm thanks to global warming, FEMA should have had plenty of time to prepare for the next one. So did they live up to expectations? Apparently not, given how many people are complaining. The truth is that people have way too high of an expectation for what government can do in terms of disaster relief. 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. Tenchusatsu
