The federal agency has received praise from politicians and storm survivors alike for being prepared before the storm and responsive immediately afterwards - two things the agency was not when Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast in 2005.
......."FEMA is a very different organization than it was during Katrina," says Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.
Lieberman chairs the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which helped spur post-Katrina reforms at the agency. Those changes, Lieberman says, have proved themselves during Sandy.
"[FEMA] was proactive, and it didn't used to be. It doesn't wait for the storm to hit, it pre-positions personnel, equipment, food supplies, water, etc.," he says........"

You do make a salient point.

Bloomberg said yesterday that he wanted to be like “Mayor Rudy,” who said the marathon must go on even after the first 9/11 attack. I guess the self-centered fool didn’t realize that thousands of New Yorkers have no homes, water or food, and were going to be tossed out in the street in order to accomodate the runners. This situation is totally unlike 9/11 where there was tremendous destruction in a mostly commercial area in NYC, but most people still had homes, heat, food, water, transportation and electricity. This makes Bloomberg’s endorsement of Obama for reasons of “climate change,” more understandable. How did an idiot like this ever get wealthy?
Yes... the gullible are everywhere.

Thay share the same communications port so that would make sense.

If you believe Bob Beckel about anything, I have a bridge in the desert I would sell you.
This is the same idiot who endorsed Obama the other day.”””
Bloomberg gave his endorsement of Barry over ‘Obama’s position on climate change’.
Talk about the Emperor’s new clothes!!!!
I just found out that one of the “new” FEMA changes is (drum roll......) hiring Americorps..... Yes! now we have “FEMA Corps!”
They’re also stocking their ranks with the elderly and substance addled hippies and those who are okay with working only 3 weeks a year - hiring thousands of permanent full time employees who will sit around doing nothing 8 months a year.
The agency boasts Obama-dem voters with starting salaries 85K up to 115-135K plus retirement pensions.
It’s just another way to take your money, give government jobs to democrats who hire contractors (that you would hire yourself for less) who end up doing the work.
FEMA — just another government money laundering scheme.
I heard Rush talking about this.
Rush points out that Mitt Romney wants to do all the time (roll back big government dictates and regulations), what Obama wants to "wave off" for awhile so something can get done.
The irony is so rich and hopefully not lost on the voters.
Outside the Social Security Adm building, no less!

Glad to have you!

9/11 happened two months before the marathon.
Sandy happened six days before the marathon.
