He may be right though he understands because he failed us when he was in office.
"A few of us still think that Reagan was right when he said "Government is the problem not the solution." Of course, we have become a small minority among conservatives, who now worship at the alter of big government Republicanism."
Beam me up into that minority, Cap'n!

The Major Disaster Process
A Major Disaster Declaration usually follows these steps:
Local Government Responds, supplemented by neighboring communities and volunteer agencies. If overwhelmed, turn to the state for assistance;
The State Responds with state resources, such as the National Guard and state agencies;
Damage Assessment by local, state, federal, and volunteer organizations determines losses and recovery needs;
A Major Disaster Declaration is requested by the governor, based on the damage assessment, and an agreement to commit state funds and resources to the long-term recovery;
FEMA Evaluates the request and recommends action to the White House based on the disaster, the local community and the state's ability to recover;
The President approves the request or FEMA informs the governor it has been denied. This decision process could take a few hours or several weeks depending on the nature of the disaster.
He's right and this was particularly true during the years that HE was president.
I still cannot believe he was ever elected and then re-elected!
Very good letter. I sent Joe an email complaining about his Bush bashing, but didn't get a response. It's nice when someone else seem to share your political opinion....thanks.
It isn't my love for Bush that motivates me on this. It is that I detest whiners and complainers who don't have the damn gumption to get some facts or those that willingly choose to ignore the facts.
Read some upline comments to another poster f'rinstance.
Hey bubba, 'which' government??? Local government bubba, primarily, the GOV. and the Mayor of LA., who by the way, used one of your ol boys to run the show instead of completely handing it over to the Feds. Once again it seems a clintonista has gotten in the way of protecting Americans..and now you'd love to 'control' another investigation to hide Rat/Blamer wrongdoing. Bubba just go away, you suck and take your witch with you, the both of you have done enough damage to this Country.
He should know about failure to respond to years of warnings. 9/11, anyone?
How is it that this turd can blame 'the government', insinuate that it is 'Bush's fault' and still trot around with President GHW Bush? Where has George Herbert Walker Bush's dignity gone? Why is he allowing himself to be used in this manner?
Clinton's getting accolades for doing what is essentially a cardboard-cutout tour of Katrina's damage and feeling everyone's pain. Perhaps Louisiana should just put some ice on it, eh, Bill?
I saw that too...it was definitely a slam on the President. HEY CLINTON STFU!!!!
Well Bubba ought to know how government can fail the people........just look at his administration.
Why the Bush presidents allow this scum to associate with them absolutely boggles the mind. And no, it's not the "keep your enimies closer". Simply amazing how the dirtbag continues to take shots at 41 and 43. I've given up trying to understand their triangular relationship....
Whoa -- One enigma atta time...
However, the short and only answer that explains it all is simply: The NWO ;-)
"Clinton's getting accolades for doing what is essentially a cardboard-cutout tour of Katrina's damage and feeling everyone's pain. Perhaps Louisiana should just put some ice on it, eh, Bill?"
Lol...Well done, T-Biscuit.
Why, thank you very much, QTF16, Your Honor, Sir. ;o)
Ahem...You are most welcome (saluting 8^P.)
