ABC RADIO NEWS is reporting Michael Brown the FEMA Director will step down.
The contrast between 9/11 and the "coordination" between state and federal gov't during Katrina is disturbing. Bush puts good people around him to do the job. He doesn't micro manage. He didn't expect the dems to immediately get political with this tragedy.
Hardly. There isnt a day that goes by that there arent more stories in the MSM about how the governor and the mayor screwed up as well. They, however, are elected officials. You cant fire them. Brown serves at the pleasure of the president and you can believe he is not pleased with what he's seen. Better to get rid of him now before we have to deal with a dirty bomb or something.
However, I will echo the sentiments of others here that both Blanco and Nagin should be forced to resign or should be impeached as well. They're politicians, where lying about your accomplishments isn't a bad thing, it's a requirement for the position. But that doesn't excuse their complete and total incompetence, either. When Brown goes (showing the right can step up to correct their mistakes) then Dumb (Nagin) and Dumber (Blanco) should go too.
yep! You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em....and Bush does.
Now they are saying he's not stepping down just going back to Washington. and someone else will be running the recovery effort.
Excellent.
That bitch and bastard who are really responsible for the situtation my state is in, is getting off scott free with murder.
Falling on one's sword was what defeated Roman generals used to do.
I understand his frustration. I am sick of the Republicans backing down everytime a little pressure comes their way. Come on, stick by our men just like the other side does theirs.

They've wanted Rumsfeld since day one.

BIO on new head of the hurricane relief in the Gulf
looks REALLY well qualified!!
You sure it was a democratic congress that confirmed him?
The 98-0 Senate vote is a whole other issue though.
Okay, so techically he's still the Head of FEMA and someone else is appointed to lead efforts on ground?
Sounds like the usual structure of large organizations. The main guy stays in the office, the rest are dispursed to the hands on efforts. Not quite what initial reports were painting.
My bet is resignation.
Of the disaster response, or of FEMA?
