Are we going to let Bush push the blame onto Brown?

[genius]

Poll question: Are we going to let Bush push the blame onto Brown?

[Richardo]

1. "We've" been blaming him for two weeks, so why not?

Does this mean Bush is not RESPONSIBLE? No, he is, and should answer for it.

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. Here's what I've been repeating ad nauseum.

"Defying the laws of gravity, responsibility runs uphill."

3. I voted for W's responsibility But Brown is a clown who padded his resume

:+

Al Franken listed a lot of ways he did this, including saying he was awarded for being a fantastic professor at some university, where in fact he was only a student.

Or that he had disaster management experience and supervised others.

Wrong.

Must be a congenital liar.

5. Why weren't his claims vetted?

I can claim that I have experience as an auto mechanic or the Queen of England; one would think that "someone" would check this out if hiring me for either job.

The only way Brown could have successfully padded his resume`, would have been with the help of the Chimp and his evil cabal. My question then becomes why did the dem's and the msm give him a pass on this?

6. That is the question many of us are wondering about right now

Apparently he was confirmed by voice vote in the Senate.

You can find a transcript of his hearing to become Deputy Director of FEMA, but I haven't seen any for him being Director.

7. Thanks for the link and info ...

How this idiot was appointed to anything is beyond me ... I am playing the blame game here "Why didn't the dem's bring the fact that this man knew nothing to light (why didn't they discover it until he caused so much human tragedy?)

[Totally Committed]

4. How come these polls never have a "HELL, NO!" option?

:mad: :nuke: :mad: :nuke: :mad:

Note this was last updated yesterday, makes you wonder what changes were made.



"Michael D. Brown
Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Emergency Preparedness and Response
Michael D. Brown was nominated by President George W. Bush as the first Under Secretary of Emergency Preparedness and Response in the newly created Department of Homeland Security in January 2003. As the head of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Under Secretary Brown leads federal disaster response and recovery operations and coordinates disaster activities with more than two dozen federal agencies and departments and the American Red Cross. He also oversees the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration, and initiates proactive mitigation activities.

Additionally, Under Secretary Brown helps the Secretary of Homeland Security ensure the effectiveness of emergency responders, and directs the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Integration Center, the National Disaster Medical System and the Nuclear Incident Response Team.

Under Secretary Brown has led Homeland Security’s response to more than 164 presidentially declared disasters and emergencies, including the 2003 Columbia Shuttle disaster and the California wildfires in 2003. In 2004, Mr. Brown led FEMA’s thousands of dedicated disaster workers during the most active hurricane season in over 100 years, as FEMA delivered aid more quickly and more efficiently than ever before.

Previously, Mr. Brown served as FEMA's Deputy Director and the agency's General Counsel. Shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks, Mr. Brown served on the President's Consequence Management Principal's Committee, which acted as the White House's policy coordination group for the federal domestic response to the attacks. Later, the President asked him to head the Consequence Management Working Group to identify and resolve key issues regarding the federal response plan. In August 2002, President Bush appointed him to the Transition Planning Office for the new Department of Homeland Security, serving as the transition leader for the EP&R Division.

Prior to joining FEMA, Mr. Brown practiced law in Colorado and Oklahoma, where he served as a bar examiner on ethics and professional responsibility for the Oklahoma Supreme Court and as a hearing examiner for the Colorado Supreme Court. He had been appointed as a special prosecutor in police disciplinary matters. While attending law school he was appointed by the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee of the Oklahoma Legislature as the Finance Committee Staff Director, where he oversaw state fiscal issues. His background in state and local government also includes serving as an assistant to the city manager with emergency services oversight responsibilities and as a city councilman.

Mr. Brown was also an adjunct professor of law for the Oklahoma City University.

A native of Oklahoma, Mr. Brown holds a bachelor's degree in Public Administration/Political Science from Central State University, Oklahoma. He received his J.D. from Oklahoma City University’s School of Law.
