Does Anyone Think they Fired the Wrong Guy?

"Ray Nagin, New Orleans mayor, said on Wednesday night he was shocked by video showing President George W. Bush being told the day before Hurricane Katrina hit that the city’s protective levees could fail. The tape contradicts the president’s statement four days after the hurricane struck: “I don’t think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees.”- Reuters: Bush ‘warned day before Katrina struck’

"Trent Duffy, White House spokesman, said the tape was misleading. 'It seems to me to suggest that the president was not fully engaged in the response to Hurricane Katrina. The president was fully engaged and involved in meetings on the response,' he said."- Reuters: Bush ‘warned day before Katrina struck’

If the President was fully engaged in the meetings and the mess that was the response to Katrina why did we fire Mr. Brown and not Mr. Bush?

Should we Quarter him with Arabian Horses?

I find it utterly amazing the statements Michael Brown made to a House committee. He laid the blame for the slow response to Katrina on the local government. It is absurd to blame local officials for a slow response to this disaster since any local aid was blown away by the gigantic hurricane. Read below the wise words of the former FEMA director and former counsel for the International Arabian Horse Association.

"If I, Mike Brown, individual, could have done something to convince them that this was the big one and they needed to order a mandatory evacuation, I would have done it."

Dude, you were the head of FEMA you could have at least tried going on television and telling people how dangerous this hurricane was before it made landfall.

"I don't have a clue how many [people] were truly in the Superdome," Said Brown.

Brown was asked if he was still a federal employee to which he responded, "You know, I don't know."

Sadly he still is a federal employee.

"feeble," "clueless," "shocking" and "beyond belief." "I'm happy you left, because that kind of . . . look in the lights like a deer tells me that you weren't capable to do the job." Rep. Christopher Shays (R) Connecticut on Michael Brown's remarks.

Brown said the White House "was fully engaged . . . behind the scenes,"

"They had to be behind the scenes, because I think we didn't see anything out front." Chairman Thomas M. Davis III (R) Virginia.

All I have left to say is I have to agree with the Representative from Connecticut.
