1. Called off my vacation

When does Bush take a vacation? He has an office staff with him and offices at the ranch, Camp David and in Air Force 1. He is always available, even overseas.
As a matter of fact he did have a meeting with Blanco and Nagin on the ground in AF1 in NO wherein he asked Blanko if she wanted him to take over the National Guard. She said she needed 24 hours to give him an answer. She claimed to have asked him before the meeting.

2. Called Michael Brown and told him to meet me at the White House on Sunday, Sept. 28th to discuss what what still intact...

intact??? Katrina made landfall 7AM Monday the 29th.

3. Called Gov. Blanca and asked her to be in D.C. for the same meeting.

Would she have gone? How would she travel?

4. Called the Joints Chiefs of Staff and had them attend...

5. Called the Secretary of Homeland Security and had him attend...

6. Ask everyone that I called if there was someone else who should be in attendance...

All of these meetings would have been premature unless they were going to figure out a way to turn the hurricane around and keep it from hitting.

7. Go on the TV on Sunday night, Sept. 28th and told the country that a massive disaster was bout to occur and plead with folks in New Orleans to try to find ways to evacuate... I would have also asked for churches and community programs in neighboring states to ready themselves for incoming evacuees...

I knew from several sources that a disaster was going to occur. I spent Sunday afternoon and into the night convincing my daughter to leave her stuff and get out of NO. Of course you claim Bush to be a liar so folks like you would not believe him.

Also why should he override local governments. the plans that they go by say the local government is the first responder. I presume you would ignore the plans and "make up laws as you go" The New Orleans' Emergency Plan for hurricanes and The State of Louisiana Emergency Operations Planhave been made inaccessible for some reason so we can't read that. But the state has made The Federal Response Plan available on their site. Hmmmmmmmm. Does it sound like they are hiding their own failures and placing all of their responsibilities on the Federal Government?

8. Alerted the Red Cross of the coming disaster..

I am sure the Red Cross was well aware of the situation.

9. Set up a command center...

I see dozens of command centers that were set up. Most likely each agency and relief group had a command center of their own. Are you saying they should have all been in the same place or some agency did not have one?

10. Not stuck my head in the sand.

Complete sarcasm that means nothing and accomplishes nothing.

My plan of what should have been done:

A. Refuse the Democrats ( like Hillary and Kerry) demand to make FEMA part of Homeland security.

B. The residents of Louisianna and New Orleans should have voted for a Republican government. The one they have is typically irresponsible, incapable and corrupt. The way they handle the disaster is to point fingers, hide their failures, find fault with others and hold their hands out for aid.

C. Bush should have checked out "Brownie" throughly. He should go back and revisit every appointee to see of they are qualified.
