Blanco hired Witt to advise HER and I believe he has nothing to do with FEMA or President Bush's relief efforts.
Well, as of August 26th, the day which Blanco declared an emergency, President Bush authorized DHS and FEMA to coordinate disaster relief for affected areas. When relief was supposed to come so much ahead of time at a Federal level, I find it hard to blame local authorities for response shortcomings. So when klinton appointees come in during a period of shortcomings, you can excuse me if I don't join in with the back patting and see this as a failure on a FEDERAL level. I had cousins in Louisiana whom I didn't hear from until yesterday and I thank god that they got out with what little injuries they have. They still have friends and family that they haven't heard from, I'm beginning to doubt some of them will be heard from again. Once again, I am upset and am not about to give credit where it's not due. I have never been more let down by this administration.
