This one agency is a very good microcosm of the difference between Bubba and the Shrub. There is virtually no aspect of governance where a similar comparison could not be drawn. There was much not to like about Bubba. By all accounts, he has some pretty despicable personal issues. But when you strip it down to simple competence and job performance as CEO of the USA, there is no question in the mind of anyone who's mind actually opens... Bubba was a very good CEO. Shrub is a very bad CEO. Period.
Notice in the first article some striking points:
FEMA under Bush41 was hampered by incompetent cronyism and a misguided mission that focused more on attacks from outside than on natural disasters.
Bubba brought in his COMPETENT crony, James Lee Witt -- hired competent people on its limited budget, and refocused its mission. It became, as the article states, "a phoenix" -- and a model for what a government agency can be at its best.
Then Bush43 took over, and the son, like his father before him reloaded it with incompetent cronies and a new misguided mission that focused on attacks from the outside rather than natural disasters -- and now they're talking about dismantling it because it's such a dysfunctional mess.
The road apple doesn't fall far from the horse's arse, does it?
