Pat, were you in the country during Hurricane Katrina? Bush had cut the budget for Fema, making them part of Homeland Security. Did you not watch the video tape that Micael Brown had showing Brown trying to warn Chertoff and the President how bad Katrina was predicted to be, and telling them the things that were needed. It wasn't important to Chertoff and Bush. After the disgusting display with Katrina, Fema has been given more budget and autonomy. They knew the things that were needed when Katrina took place but neither FEMA nor Govenor Blanco had the Funds necessary. AFTER ALL, FEMA WORKED WHEN CLINTON WAS IN OFFICE.
