Are you listening to these stupid reporters at the FEMA news conference? All they are concerned about is how this response is different than for Katrina. So far, the only thing I can tell is that they are going to use the US military right away, rather than waiting until after the storm.

The FEMA guy listed a bunch of supplies and disaster teams that have been pre-positioned. They asked him why this wasn't done for Katrina. He said IT WAS DONE FOR KATRINA. Stunned reporters wanted to know why there was all the troule in New Orleans. Guy said he wasn't going to go into that now. HAHAHA!

which FEMA person is giving the briefing? in fact, they should answer these Katrina questions pointedly.

Nice of them to be so concerned about Texas after Houston welcomed so many of the N.O. evacuees in to their city.

I'll say it once again; hard as it may sound, I'm sick of hearing about NO and Katrina.

Katrina was NOT the first ever hurricane to hit this country and the rest of us have managed to SURVIVE for decades without losing our minds in THREE DANG DAYS.

And to the reporters out there who may be lurking: No, Texas is NOT preparing now "in light of what happened in New Orleans." They are doing it because that is what we ALL do every single time, you dolts.

If they had been reporters instead of Dem propagandists for the last few weeks, they would know the answer to that one.

Excellent- thanks for the report. It's about time these idiots who call themselves reporters learned that FEMA depends on the LOCAL planning, prep etc to flow into- and they are NOT first responders.

"They asked him why this wasn't done for Katrina"

Quote of the day to some idiot reporter: "You're stuck on stupid!"
