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.

Raveneye is talking about something else.
The point you quoted him on, and the reason why his point is Bush's fault, is because President Bush placed those persons in FEMA. He made those appointments. He did it on his own. He is personally responsible for revamping the organization.
