Why is the FEMA failure only Bush's fault. Why are we not holding senators and congressman responsible? If you remember shortly after 9/11 bush opposed the DHS. It was the senators that drafted the bill and both houses passed it. While bush could have vetoed the bill, it is not entirely bush's fault. I have yet to hear, once on this board, that the Senate or House should take any blame at all. They are the ones in this country who make the laws and decide where money gets spent. Go look at the bill and look at all your favorite liberal senate leaders who voted to put FEMA under the new Homeland Security department and tell me again how this is all Bush's fault.
