I, too, think it is inaccurate to say the Fed. Govt. does not care at all. In fact, the initial actions and FEMA and the ACE's work over the last three decades support that they care. I also do not think this is the heated racist question people are saying, though clearly if these had been mostly rich white people, the help would have come sooner. I say this because if the govt. could launch an effort to find the dead body of JFK, Jr., et al, and do so in a matter of days on a holiday weekend - how can we do that and not this
So, I think there is a racism thread in this. But, that is my opinion and I think it is supported by facts.
In the end, I think W thought FEMA could handle the second part of this because they had handled the first part okay. Sadly, they did not, but the buck stops with him and he should be accountable because if they had acted in a proper manner, he would be basking in the glow of it
