This is why Bush originally said to Nancy Poleski that FEMA did exactly what they were supposed to. If the poor blacks start to get all uppity FEMA will have them in concentration camps in a matter of hours.

good point, I think what "fucked up" there was those that were put in charge were actually campaign supports and helpers for Bush. They had no experience and were flying blind. Bush knew that and did the right thing.
In addition from what I see and hear everyone including the mayor fucked up. Bush I have to give credit for taking responsibility though I am curious as to why so many millionaires are putting up huge chunks of cash - but you dont hear Bush or Cheney throwing any $$ towards the relief effort.
Overall, I am tired of the blame game and simply lets get on with helping these people and worry about who to point fingers at, because in all honestly - everyone in administration including the percentage of the police force who never showed up that day for work are to blame.
