I agree. Brown should go.
I'm as fed up with the "blame Bush for Katrina" nonsense that is being bandied about, but it is folly to think that the entire chain of command at the federal level is flawless.
I have been none too happy with Michael Chertoff, either. He may be doing good work, but he has also been busy making statements that sound idiotic in light of the facts.
Bush is well known for loyalty to those who work for him. This should not prevent him from letting go of people who let the country down.
It's frustrating to see this whole thing go political like it has been.....
Bush and the Feds screwed up big time here, as did Nagin, Blanco and the whole last 40-years of the cradle to grave welfare system that helped create the mess in NOLA.
For those defending Bush, FEMA, Chertoff and the administration on this to the end, just ask yourself what your opinion of the Federal response would be, had say Jimmy Carter or Clinton been in charge and we had the exact same Monday-Thursday response from the Federal govt. You know darn well we would all be talking here about inneffectual "Jimmy" here and demanding impeachment hearings....
I wish the situation wouldn't be such where one side has to take 100% of the blame or the other here.....this was a complex mess of human tragedy and failure on many, many levels....
I'm just hoping that we as a Country don't spend $100 Billion to recreate the whole town in NOLA again as it was....that would be an even bigger tragedy IMO.
