Have you read my posts???

The only thing I am blaming Brown for is his complete idiocy and lack of leadership. Failures happened at ALL levels of the response, local, state, AND federal. It was not ALL the local and state folks.

Yes it was. The lack of response started at the top. The local and state. They *ucked up big time and they know it. They are playing the blame someone else game now and alot are falling for it.

I can't tell you the number of times my family has had to evacuate from an on coming hurricane.

The incompenentance an ineptitude starts at the top, and that's the local and state.

This issue is getting me steamed. I see so many trying to lay the blame on fema or homeland security. If the state and local government had done their jobs in the first place, we wouldn't be having this conversation now. They screwed up...
