Don't you just love objective reporting?
Every word in this article is true. It does not actually blame Bush and asks reasonable questions. Bush may bear little blame in this matter, but he needs to come out swinging to defend his actions.
It does not help that he has already said the Feds performance was unacceptable. If it was, he needs to fire somebody, preferably somebody with name recognition.
He needs an explanation of why it took 6 days to get any relief to people at the superdome. "Governor Blanco failed to request it" might do the trick if Bush had gone on TV on day 2 and screamed for Blanco to let him in. But he didn't.
Nor does it help that Bush and his two principle spokesmen during this affair, Chertoff and Michael Brown, are guys who in their pronouncements conveyed absolutely no sense of the extreme urgency of the situation. (At least in statements I've seem them make.) If Norman Schwarzkopf had been in charge of FEMA, would this have happened? I think not.
