What didn't go right?

I guess, Mr. Doofus President, you might say more reasonably "what didn't go wrong? When Nancy Pelosi said to the President, face to face, you ought to fire Brown, he replied, why? Pelosi then said, because of everything that went wrong. The President reportedly replied, what didn't go right? Should anyone have to comment further on this?

Bush is responsible for merging FEMA into Homeland Security and downgrading it from a Cabinet Position to simply an element of Homeland Security. He is responsible for turning FEMA into a dumping ground for political cronies. The top three officials of FEMA are all totally without any experience in emergencies and should never have been appointed to those positions.

FEMA completely failed in their responsibilities. They were late getting organized, late getting to New Orleans, late even to recognize where there were problems that needed immediate solutions. They told their workers they had two days to get to New Orleans, and this was even after the hurricane had struck. Furthermore, they gave them two days of training essentially in Public Relations rather than emergency aid. Brown, the current head of FEMA was and is so incompetent as to beggar belief. Even so, the President says he's doing a great job. I don't know about you, but I find this frightening even beyond belief. Our fake President is so out of touch with reality he has no idea what is going on.

Bush was on vacation and couldn't be bothered to interrupt it for a minor matter like a category 4 hurricane bearing down on New Orleans, the single most important port in the United States. Cheney was vacationing in Wyoming and couldn't be bothered. Conti Rice was buying expensive shoes and taking in Spamalot. Rumsfeld, I gather, was somewhere masturbating his ego as usual. Barbara Bush was chuckling over how good it was that these otherwise poor folk were having new opportunities elsewhere. I would like to think that Bush Sr. was hiding under a chair somewhere pretending he didn't know anyone involved (but I wouldn't bet on it). Bill and Hilary Clinton were trying to figure out how to keep kissing up to the Bush's when things were obviously going so badly. Ditto Biden, Kerry, Lieberman, and others of that sick ilk.

I cannot believe that Bush/Cheney are going to be able to spin their way out of this. It is just too obvious an example of total incompetence. And the unfortunate, disastrous, monstrous, horrendous, sickening, vile, unconscionable, inhuman, and utterly disgusting results of their incompetence are right there on the TV screen for all to see. Oh, yeah, as usual, I don't understand that it is/was all the fault of local and state governments. FEMA is not supposed to act prior to three or four days after the state has declared an emergency? They should certainly not prepare for a disaster they know is on the way until hours and days after it occurs. But, then, what the hell, it was just a bunch of "niggers" that don't vote Republican. Now that they are gone, spread out all over nowhere and probably without the means to ever return, we can rebuild New Orleans and make it safe for wealthy white folk, after, that is, we make things better for the oil people.

After all this, according to a poll I saw today, still 40% of Americans think Bush is doing okay. Forty percent of Americans apparently have their heads up their butts so far they are beyond hope. I resist hopelessness as best I can but it is becoming increasingly difficult. Perhaps if Robertson or Falwell could offer up a prayer for decency and accountability. Naw, forget it. They wouldn't know decency or accountability if it jumped up and bit them on the ass.

Speaking of such things, if Bush/Cheney had even a semblance of either decency or shame, they would immediately resign for the good of the country. Good of the country? I bet they are doubled up with laughter at the very suggestion.
