Bush's 'Brownie' criticizes Obama on Sandy
By Pete Kasperowicz - 10/30/12 01:12 PM ET

Michael Brown, former President George W. Bush's former FEMA director who was criticized for his slow reaction to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, said on Monday that President Obama may have acted too quickly on Hurricane Sandy this week.

Brown said Obama's Sunday press conference with Federal Emergency Management Agency officials was "premature" because the effect of the storm was not felt until a day later.

"It's premature (when) the brunt of the storm won't happen until later this afternoon," Brown said Monday, according to Denver Westward.

Brown said he was concerned about Obama's early remarks because people in the Northeast were "already beginning to blow it off." He added that Obama's comments on Sunday were leading New Yorkers to start "shrugging their shoulders" and ask "what's this all about?" <<---- IT'S ABOUT A FUCKING STORM, MORON!

I concluded in another thread that it appears republicans are sadists.

They like to see people suffer.

Really amazed that that loser would feel inclined to comment after all given his abject failure. But hey thanks for reminding us what disaster relief under a republican administration is like.

and asked him to clarify.
The bizarre explanation? (Well, not bizarre given that Brownie is a typical GOP asshole) - that Obama could have benefited more politically if he had waited.

If you wondered just how stupid the Bush II regime was, what a bird it and its Republican oligarchs flipped at The People, there is this to remind us. Of course, you can see the finger that Bush I gave us every time Clarence Thomas issues an opinion.
