"It would appear, and I think the president acknowledged, that the federal government's response has been inadequate," Bloomberg told reporters at City Hall.

Wrong. The president said the response has been inadequate. He did not say whether it was Federal/State/Local.

Chet, you are right. But I would go further. I think Bush was talking about the state and Local response, and that the Feds were coming to clean it up.

Here is the what the President said, exactly:
"A lot of people are working hard to help those who have been affected, and I want to thank the people for their efforts. The results are not acceptable. I'm headed down there right now. I'm looking forward to talking to the people on the ground. I want to assure the people of the affected areas and this country that we'll deploy the assets necessary to get the situation under control, to get the help to the people who have been affected, and that we're beginning long-term planning to help those who have been displaced, as well as long-term planning to help rebuild the communities that have been affected."
