And besides, once an atery's cut, it's kind of hard to repair the damages that have already been done. the least he could do was send supplies to thai patient...help someone out. ha and as much sense as i'm sure that didn't make, i still heart my president.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060123790185687732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188417.post-1126793904153472232005-09-15T09:18:00.000-05:002005-09-15T09:18:00.000-05:00If the state is clearly failing though, is it not ...If the state is clearly failing though, is it not the responsibility of the federal government to take over. Let's use an analogy here. You are a doctor doing heart surgery. You are supposed to do the surgery alone, but the head physician of the hospital is in the room. You cut an artery and the man is obviously bleeding to death. Sure you as the surgeon are at fault for cutting the artery, but if the head physician does not jump in to help correct your mistake he is also responsible for the death of the patient. It is the federal government's responsibility to protect its citizens. They could have jumped in and saved lives and asked questions about the procedures for getting federal aid later. Furthermore, from what I read, the federal aid came 2-3 days after requested.Blessum Yellowstone Triphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986787012428833678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188417.post-1126709174810590452005-09-14T09:46:00.000-05:002005-09-14T09:46:00.000-05:00The federal gov. can only come in when they are re...The federal gov. can only come in when they are requested by the state officials. I do not know if the state officials requested them earlier than when they did arrive, but they should have arrived right away once requested, since it was quite obvious that the area was a major disaster.<BR/><BR/>I think that everyone did have a part in dropping the ball, but I think the majority of the blame should be on state and local officials, not President Bush.Ookami Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10396649763195640076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188417.post-1126705823042046942005-09-14T08:50:00.000-05:002005-09-14T08:50:00.000-05:00I definitely agree that a majority of the fault li...I definitely agree that a majority of the fault lies on local government, but let's say that days 1-2 after the storm the local government is completely responsible for the awful planning. Why didn't the federal government come to the aid of the obviously failing local government until day 5? Bush ordered supplies to Thailand within two days. Regardless of who made the initial mistakes, Bush is responsible for not doing something about the mistakes and taking action to correct them more quickly.Blessum Yellowstone Triphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986787012428833678noreply@blogger.com
