Americans were furious because they were outraged at the suffering that was caused by the state and local incompetence, and wanted someone to blame. Like you, most Americans think FEMA can just solve all the problems created by state and local officials. It just doesn't work that way. Never has, never will. One thing that is almost always overlooked is that the federal government cannot step in until the governor of the state specifically requests action from FEMA. It's a 10th amendment thing. Blanco hesitated in asking for help from FEMA and this caused a delay in FEMA's ability to engage. FEMA did their job once they were asked to.

Message 28521276 Obama and FEMA got a free pass during Hurricane Sandy. The global warming alarmists are getting a free pass on their predictions that we'll see more Hurricane Katrinas. Liberals hope that the public collectively has a short-term memory. Tenchusatsu

>> and you just don't understand FEMA's role in a disaster. My recollection from August, 2005 is that YOU believed FEMA was a "first responder" and that I showed you specifically where that was not FEMA's role. Is that still your position (even though I already corrected you at the time?) And I showed you where you were wrong. I was a first responder under the FEMA umbrella. I know what a first responder is. You clearly don't. >> Americans were furious.

My God, is there no end to your delusions?
