Why criticize the President when he has been one of the most PRAISEWORTHY of the public officials in all of this??? Oh yeah, he's doing nothing (40,000 NG troops and NORTHCOM and Coast Guard etc. = 'nothing') and he doesn't care (yeah right, he's been the most concerned and level-headed official out there)... His address on Saturday said exactly the right things, and the Federal response has been as good as it can be under the circumstances of this being the largest U.S. natural disaster in our history.
The criticisms here have mainly been directed at the head of FEMA. While it's true that that reflects on the President to a certain degree, you're right in that things need to be kept in perspective.
