Well, if the shoe fits..........

The title of the thread is "Federal Govt. Failure" and yes Bush IS the CIC. No matter how you slice it, the Feds could have done a much better job. Better preparation, better management, and better response. I posted that article to high lite the failure of the government, although Bush's actions (or lack of) during the last week speak volumes.

You're right, you can't lay this week's failure at the foot of any one man or women. It's a story of organizational dysfunction to the n'th degree, and at the end of the day the figurehead either can accept responsibility or he can pass the buck (or the other option ignore the issue with prepared upbeat 3 second sound bites).

Now is the time to provide food & shelter to those affected, however, the lack of accountability (and change) as time goes forward will only further divide the nation.
