Fill me in on why everyone hates the FIMA director?
I have been out of the loop the last few days and have not had a chance to follow the hurricane news. I just logged on to DU and it seems every other thread is ripping the FIMA director. I read several of the threads but could not quite figure out what exactly most of the anger is about. Could someone fill me in?

Thanks

4. Simply put, he's 1) not qualified, 2) a liar.
And he's the head of the agency that is most directly responsible for failig to respond to this disaster in a timely and effective way.

And the result is that thousands will die unnecessarily, IMO.

6. He's BUSH appointee who had no experience in disaster relief when hired
He a Bush handjob.

Oh and he LAUGHED AT HIS FREAKING PRESS CONFERENCE A FEW MINUTES AGO.
I still can't believe he did that. Several times.

AND

He said they are mobilizing the Boy Scouts.

That'll work.

9. One, he's a liar, and two, check the quote...
“This is a national disgrace,” said Terry Ebbert, head of New Orleans’ emergency operations. “FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control,” Ebbert said. “We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims but we can’t bail out the city of New Orleans."

"We have got a mayor who has been pushing and asking but we’re not getting supplies,” he said. He said the evacuation was almost entirely a Louisiana operation. “This is not a FEMA operation. I haven’t seen a single FEMA guy.”

That's why this guy needs to be slapped...
