This disaster is SO enormous. There is no way it could be 'under control' at this point, no matter how well things were carried out.
It is an enormous problem we are trying to overcome. The biggest in our nation's history since the Civil War.
But since the president is clearly not happy with the relief effort, I think it's safe for freepers to agree with him. There are lots of us, me included, who had such faith in our military and government (like FEMA) that I thought they could overcome everything, including water and looters.
This has shown me more clearly than anything that we have to rely on ourselves and not ever rely on the goverment to do anything. Ever.
