Bush’s FEMA Director During Katrina Criticizes Obama For Responding To Sandy Too Quickly
By Hayes Brown on Oct 30, 2012 at 1:04 pm

Former FEMA Director Michael Brown offered criticism of President Obama’s early responses to Hurricane Sandy yesterday, including a dig at the administration’s response to last month’s attack in Libya.

Yesterday, ahead of the storm’s pummeling of the eastern seaboard, Brown gave an interview to the local alternative paper, the Denver Westword, on how he believed the Obama administration was responding to Sandy too quickly and that Obama had spoken to the press about Sandy’s potential effect too early.
Brown turned then to a reliable right-wing attack on the President’s response to the attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi that killed four Americans:

“One thing he’s gonna be asked is, why did he jump on [the hurricane] so quickly and go back to D.C. so quickly when in…Benghazi, he went to Las Vegas?” Brown says. “Why was this so quick?… At some point, somebody’s going to ask that question…. This is like the inverse of Benghazi.”

Who asked you, brownie? And who the hell are YOU to question whether Obama responded too soon? Jesus Mary and Joseph!

Almost seems like a compliment to President Obama that a certified incompetent idiot jackass disses the job he's doing on handling an epic natural disaster. He would know, wouldn't he?

Yes, because during a multi-state emergency, it's best not to rush into anything.

Right, Brownie?

FOXNews also had Brownie on to tell us how to handle a disaster. My family lived through Katrina (barely). I am so sorry and angry that this guy is paid by KOA radio, the Limbaugh and Rosen station, to spew out the same kind of hate they do. He nor Bush have ever apologized to the people of New Orleans. He has no shame. If Romney is elected he will kill FEMA but will appoint these same kind of idiots to run their "small" government.
