The one agency whose only purpose is large scale emergency management is the one that seemed to handle the crisis the worst. Couple that with the all out attempt to blame it all on the locals (while loudly decrying any criticsim of themselves as a blame game) and Bush's reluctance to cut his vacation short; well my ire is at least understandable I hope.

On vacation.

All the timelines have him in SD or some other place...he just happens to be basing his travel from TX and that means he's on vacation.

Somehow I think our term "vacation" means something different that what the President actually gets to take...but thats only my opinion.

But, I understand the sentiments and I also know there is failed responsibility by the federal government.

New Nice try at re-writing history, again.
You on Rove's payroll yet? You should be.

Moore wasn't there. The questions were being posed by the press corps during one of this President's many vacations. I saw that first on a news outlet, CBS iirc. Here's how the Washington Post reported it (since you are obviously Rove impaired).

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine, Aug. 4 -- It's a ritual when President Bush golfs: As he gets ready to tee off, reporters toss out a few questions about the news of the day from their perches on a nearby sand trap. This morning, Bush wasn't waiting. He sprang from his golf cart at 6:15 a.m. and said he was "distressed to hear about the latest suicide bombers in Israel."

Just over four hours before, as Bush slept at his parents' seaside retreat, a Palestinian suicide bomber blew up a bus in Israel, killing nine passengers.

Bush, wearing khakis and a knit shirt, was holding a driver in his gloved left hand. The rest of his foursome, including his father, former president George H.W. Bush, was waiting. However incongruous the setting, the president plunged ahead. "There are a few killers who want to stop the peace process that we have started, and we must not let them," he said. "I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers."

His business out of the way, Bush barely paused for breath before saying, "Thank you. Now watch this drive."


[link|http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A43789-2002Aug4?language=printer|http://www.washingto...?language=printer]


(And on the vacationing President Emphasis Mine.)
According to an August 2003 article in the Washington Post, President Bush has spent all or part of 166 days during his presidency at his Crawford, Texas, ranch or en route. Add the time spent at or en route to the presidential retreat of Camp David and at the Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Bush has taken 250 days off as of August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency spent on vacation. Although to be fair, much of this time is classified as a "working vacation."

Bush isn't the first president to get away from his work. George Bush Sr. took all or part of 543 vacation days at Camp David and in Kennebunkport. Ronald Reagan spent 335 days at or en route to his Santa Barbara, California, ranch during his eight years in office. Of recent presidents, Jimmy Carter took the least days off -- only 79 days, which he usually spent at his home in Georgia. That's less than three weeks a year, which is closer to the average American's paid time off of 13 days per year.

New Yes everybody screwed up
but the Feds have all the practice.

9/11 exposed a problem in command, control, and coordination among the different emergency services. Department of Homeland Security was explicitly formed to fix that problem.

Since then multiple drills and simulations have been run including the mock hurricane Pam and project IMPACT.

Both of these exposed the same problems.

5 mother fucking years later we still have a problem in command, control and coordination among the different emergency services.

Of the 3 screwups - local, state and federal - only one of them has both the actual experience with the problem and the explicit responsibility to solve that problem and it failed miserably. Furthermore, disaster response was pretty much the keystone of the republican platform - its why they got the job. So they'd better fucking do it.

That's what has me and many others pissed off.

TOTAL FAILURE:
The State of Leadership In This Country

9-09-05

WHEN ONE first looked at the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina on Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, it seemed like a natural disaster of biblical proportions that no one could have predicted or prevented.

But, as the drama unfolded in CNN\ufffds outstanding minute-by-minute coverage, the reality that looms ever larger in our minds is that the state of leadership in this country is a total failure. The vital needs of the American people in this tragedy and in other woes facing the nation have not been met in Washington and state capitols.

Louisiana\ufffds largest newspaper, The Times\ufffdPicayune publishing from a web site, said editorially Aug. 4 in an open letter to President George W. Bush, \ufffd\ufffdour nation\ufffds bureaucrats spent days after last week\ufffds hurricane wringing their hands, lamenting the fact that they could neither rescue the city\ufffds stranded victims nor bring them food, water and medical supplies.\ufffd

The reality of national leadership failures now looms larger than the glimpses that we have seen since terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon three years ago on Sept. 11 and our country\ufffds entire intelligence apparatus failed to prevent any part of it despite information available at lower levels.

The reality of Iraq is more evident today and, if anyone fails to understand why there was chaos and looting for weeks after the American invasion or fails to understand why the violence there continues to grow, let them look at leadership failures in New Orleans.

If anyone does not understand what man-made environmental dangers are and the consequences of them, let them watch as a great American city is turned into a ghostly image on television screens.

If there is anyone in this nation who does not understand what rising poverty rates, declining health care coverage or growing inequity between rich and poor means, let them look at our Southland.

If anyone wants to make an assessment of leadership, let them look at record-high energy costs, the national deficit, trade imbalances, sluggish economy, growing inflation, increasing illegal immigration, deteriorating infrastructure of most American cities and declining public schools.

While the federal government has been playing games with color codes at Homeland Security, appointing ineffective political cronies at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, checking library records at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and shipping poorly equipped state militias to Iraq at the Pentagon, many more fateful events lurked in the shadows of ill-begotten decisions.

When there is poor leadership at the top of the nation, it often sinks to the local levels, in our state governments and in our corporations.

Why else has Halliburton been investigated for price gouging in Iraq and the gasoline in the ground in America suddenly goes over $3 per gallon two days after Katrina? Why else do legislatures and governors fail, as they have in Texas, to address major issues like education and equitable taxation? Why else are there investigations of school board and city council members for misuse of federal funds? Corruption and incompetence seem to be rising in all levels of government.

There was no joy on Labor Day for millions of Americans who have to work longer hours, including this holiday, at lower pay with little or no benefits. The growth of good jobs is not keeping up with needs or the rising cost of living for most Americans.

Time will bring needed change as concerned citizens grow more aware and more alarmed, but before corrective political action can be taken apparently many people will have to suffer.
