re: Somehow, it comes as no great surprise that when FEMA was helping out in Florida in 2004 they wanted to coordinate with Bush's campaign managers. The German media, a news show called Tageschau, reported on September 2 that all of the background activity seen going around Bush when he strode through an area was staged. It quickly appeared before he arrived, and just as quickly disappeared after he left. I forget who it was... one of the first guys who quit the administration. He said politics ran everything, that there were no decisions based on actually accomplishing anything. That's this admin, politics and ideology, and no substance or competence. No pragmatism... and it's really, really cost us. In Iraq and New Orleans... We're stuck for 3+ more years, it's hard to comprehend that they will do even more damage to this country. John

"... and all they cared about was the "image" of the admin. If this isn't criminal, it should be---" Ah, it gets worse. Seems they sent out an urgent request for firemen. It appears they were urgently needed to hand out flyers and act as props in photo ops... sltrib.com Somehow, it comes as no great surprise that when FEMA was helping out in Florida in 2004 they wanted to coordinate with Bush's campaign managers. The German media, a news show called Tageschau, reported on September 2 that all of the background activity seen going around Bush when he strode through an area was staged. It quickly appeared before he arrived, and just as quickly disappeared after he left. It is beginning to look as if that nasty speculation about FEMA's non-response to New Orleans is because they tend to vote Democratic is true. Worse than asking firefighters to hand out fliers is the fact they are unrepentent about the whole matter. They have no qualms about flipping the American people the bird. ted
