The New Orleans example is a good one. Yes, Nagin and Blanco made huge errors. But, FEMA's was the worst.

What amazes me is that we AMERICANS expect a bailout. I live along the Gulf Coast and no person or government agency could begin to measure the scope of such a disaster as some of the hurricanes we've had. FEMA is not perfect, but they did and still are helping. They helped my family and friends. Are things back to normal..............NO!!!!!!!! But with time it will be.
Some people love to lay the blaim at President Bush's feet, that is insane. And so is blaming FEMA. Mistakes were made, but most people are playing the Monday morning quarterback game.
I'll stop my little rant by just saying that we should appreciate how much our citizens and Government helps.
