I am comfortable attributing some level of blame as the president because that's the nature of the office.

But for the record, it seems to me that FEMA leadership is doing a lot of finger pointing without owning up to much of the responsibility. As the leader of an oganization, it is the presidents job to make sure the orgainzations have the tools to do the job. Its not his job to do the job. Thats what the fine people from FEMA get paid to do.

So if they've been prediciting for four years that a major hurricane in the NO area would be catastrophic, and then had a week's notice that a major hurricane was going to strike NO, who the responsible party in terms of not mobilizing resources fast enough, not having command and control already in place before the storm hit, etc.
