Can't you see pauper that they're just as bad, corrupt and self-centred as one another (Bush and Clinton)? Time to think outside of your box.

Who is Brown? Looks like he is the lawerand he failed to run Arabic horses association when he was in charge. LAWER. The guy who's role to create politicallycorrect mess of words. He have created the fund for legal defence of himself when he was in IAHA (read more on wikipedia link above).Well, this time he might need to do it again.BTW, according to FEMA site:"Additionally, Under Secretary Brown helps the Secretary of Homeland Security ensure the effectiveness of emergency responders, and directs the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Integration Center, the National Disaster Medical System and the Nuclear Incident Response Team." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~lowtech

What's additionally messed up is, now that the dumbasses have tripped over their feet and royally fucked up the immediate response to the hurricane, now they're afraid to say "no" to any request for aid, rebuilding, etc., etc., etc. No way do we get anything even vaguely resembling a reasonable long-term response to this.

LOL! Gggg-G-Unit!That google page has got be rigged. Funny, but rigged.As much as people like to rip Bush, how would the alternative (John Kerry) have performed thus far? As a Christian voter, I saw the lesser of two bad choices. And as a "middle-American", Bush really appealed to me with his sincerity...despite his appearance of unintelligence. Turns out the motives for the Iraq War were wrong, so maybe his sincerity is a veiled one.I guess I don't understand the hatred and loathing of Bush. Liberal or Conservative, a politician is a politician (i.e. sleaze ball). And if that politician is on the other side, there is nothing he can do right in your eyes.A major problem with the Bush Administration is not Bush himself IMHO. Since congress is Republican-controlled, there are no checks and balances such as what Clinton had during his administration. Plus, I think that he is in uncharted territory as a US president. A war on terror, emerging rival in China, natural catastrophe, etc. Bush has screwed up, but he hasn't had a cakewalk or anything.
