[Reuters]Good to see FEMA is busy repairing their image.

I saw that. Kinda incredible just how cocked up this administration is, isn't it?



D&D. Attempt to Keep it Civil!

Impeach Bush.

 

Gee, wonder where they got that idea?

 

"Are you happy with FEMA's response so far?"

Johnson replied that he was "very happy with FEMA's response so far,"

Great question, great answer ~ i'm not sure why you conspiracy theorist libpigs are getting your panties up in a wad.

I mean who really cares who asks the questions as long as we get the answers?

 

not surprising. this criminal administration has been pulling this crap since they got into office. how much did the g.a.o. say that the bush administration has spent on fake news stories, propaganda and buying off reporters? something like 2 billion?

 

Yep this is something that we would have pictured going on in the Soviet Union, and everyone would have talked about how evil those communists were for not having a real and true free press.

 

9/11 changed things libpig!

 

ridiculous.

 

So some idiot decides to run his own fake press conference and it's the administration's fault?

 

you'll never get it.

when president bush ran for govenor of texas, he ran on expanding the tyc, to lock up criminal kids. now 12 years later the tyc is embroiled in scandal because low and behold, bush expanded the agency to fast putting unqualified people in place, who in turn hired unqualified officials, who in turn hired unqualified staff, all the way down, till you have people who are supposed to be watching these kids, molesting them.

do you see the pattern, or will you just continue to keep your head in the sand because you can't deal with the fact you voted for an idiot twice.

 

This is bad, but let's remember this in the future that if an agency of the administration acts awkward, or shows incompetent acts, or pure irresponsibility,....It all ties to the U.S. President even if it is your side....

 

Actually, I would like to hear some "real" news on how FEMA performed this time. I don't think you can compare this to Katrina, because even though FEMA looked incredibly inept in New Orleans, they were like everyone else caught off guard.

this seems to be a lot more managable situation.

 

My boss's boss once applied for federal funding for a project. The first thing the official asked him was who did he vote for in 2004. He declined to answer and didn't get the funding.

I don't think they deliberately hire unqualified people. They deliberately hire loyal Bushies regardless of ability. That's why Bush can always live in a bubble and we all suffer.

 

So you see a "pattern" in one instance in which you conclude that GWB might possibly be responsible for the molestation of children? It's been a while since I took second grade math but I would imagine a pattern requires a few more instances than one.

I gotta give you credit, though. Tying the molestation of children to GWB is a new touch. Kudos. This should be some type of game. It would be like the six degrees of separation game, except since GWB is involved, it would just be called "One Degree of Separation" and we can tie all of the world's troubles to GWB. It's nice to have someone to blame!

 

no, you still miss the point. he hires unqualified people to run these departments and it creates messes. that's why I went step by step, it starts with the first unqualified person, bush, then the person he hires.

anyone who has had a job knows that a company is a reflection of its leadership. gwb is unqualified, and therefore he hires unqualified people to be in charge, and it ends up being a mess.

here's a question for you, what is gwb responsible for, since you try to absolve him of any responisibility for the incompetence of most federal agencies?

 

This is the same administration that

1. had a gay hooker planted in the Washington press corps to throw softball questions to GWB

2. surreptitiously made fake news reports made by fake reporters to drum up support for the presdient's drug plan

3. Used taxpayer money to pay columnists to write favorable editorials

yeah sure there is no pattern - halfbreed you should probably pick a better battle to fight, this one is not looking promising.

 

the molestation of kids is an example of a failure of a department gwb set in motion by hiring unqualified people to expand the department. Katrina was an example of failure set in motion by the hiring of the first unqualified person.

I'm sure gwb didn't mean to leave people stranded in a flooded city for a week, or children to be molested, but he set in motion the events that led to those unfortunate consequences by hiring his cronies to run these departments.

 

there's no pattern, gwb's just an innocent bystander.

 

When did I absolve him of any responsibility for the incompetence of most federal agencies? We're talking about two instances when I think the ties to GWB are very thin. According to your theory, the CEO of a company would be responsible for the sexual harassment of a low-level employee by another low-level employee because he hired the people who hired the people who hired the people who hired the person who sexually harassed someone in the workplace.

I agree that GWB has a poor record with regards to hiring people to run agencies. However, that doesn't mean that all the problems the agency has are the result of GWB himself.

EDIT: With regards to the sexual harassment analogy, I'm not talking about legal liability because I know the company can be sued. I'm speaking in terms that sequence of hires doesn't mean the CEO sanctions that behavior.

 

If it's all the same to you, I'll decide what I wish to discuss without your approval, thanks.

There's a difference between giving one example and calling it a pattern and doing what you've done in listing an actual pattern. Even then, I still don't see how FEMA employees deciding to stage their own press conference means that it was sanctioned by GWB.
