But you know this, you are just a tool.
"With forecasters warning of a Category 5 storm, the president made sure the federal response would not be delayed, declaring emergencies in Mississippi and Florida just hours after a similar declaration for Louisiana.
Such declarations make federal aid available to assist with disaster relief, but they rarely are made before a storm hits."
" In Washington, the Federal Emergency Management Agency was coordinating relief efforts sending water, food and other supplies to staging centers in the Southeast. FEMA was moving supplies from logistics centers in Atlanta and Denton, Texas, to areas closer to where authorities thought the storm would create a need. "
August 28th Bush was preparing the relief effort and FEMA was getting supplies close to the area for a quick response. So tell me, what the fuck happened?
