10. From Wiki:

William Craig Fugate was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2009 to be the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.<1> He had been the Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. He was appointed director by Gov. Jeb Bush in 2001 and later re-appointed by Gov. Charlie Crist.

Don't bother clicking the link -- that's all it says.

He's so under the radar that when I just Googled 'Fema Director', the first several entries were about Brownie.

8. FEMA Dir: "The President submits the whole team, we each have support roles..."

"FEMA is NOT the only agency" (involved in the flood assistance.)

Well THIS Tennessean needs personal assistance from Joe Biden! ... I mean, it was BONE DRY here the day it flooded in Nashville, but that's BESIDE the point!!! lol
