"FEMA did a great job"
"Even though this is a tragedy of epic proportions, and the scale of human suffering and loss is staggering, we really have to praise the federal rescue efforts here. Imagine how much greater the suffering would have been if their response had not been so timely and robust. Hats off to the directors of FEMA and DHS for being so well-prepared."

Wouldn't it be nice to hear something like this once in a while? Instead of just excuses from this administration? Instead of "help is on the way", or "we're turning the corner", or "last throes"?

I'd love to be able to praise this administration just once, JUST ONCE, for a job well done.

1. Bu$h is going to tell everyone that FEMA did a Great Job
and the the directors were outstanding in their response to the disaster and all is well.
They will not let a little thing called the truth get in the way.

3. BullGooseLooney made a great point the other night
The media is trumping the number of deaths possibly being in the tens of thousands and thousands and thousands of body bags were ordered.

Then when actual deaths are considerably lower as they were on 9/11 there is no doubt Republicans will use this to say it could have been much worse were their response not so great.
