In the next election, we should elect a dictator. Then we won't have to be bogged down by an ineffective president who honors state's rights, federal laws, etc. The feds can step in ahead of all hurricanes, and arrest everyone in the predicted landfall area. We'll need permanent posts set up around the country for disasters that come with no warning. Any other suggestions?
Elect a dictator? I guess that gives him legitimacy. What I am talking about is taking executive action (cutting through the red tape) during the greatest natural disaster ever to hit this country. In a crisis of this proportion, you want action not someone spouting states rights and rules, etc. as an excuse for why something is not being done to save people's lives.
