1452 Vacuum up the cat hair

That's what I did during the President's speech this morning. I'm so frustrated. The most powerful woman in the world is not a white woman from New York, Hillary Clinton, she is a black woman from Alabama, Condoleeza Rice, and all she is allowed to say when the criticism pours in, even from a mayor who had a full week to prepare, is something like, "Now, now, it's going to be OK." It was so bland, I can't even find it on Google. Meanwhile she lets the media shred the administration. It is so frustrating.

No Republican politician wants to say that letting states decide what to do during a multi-state catastrophe probably isn't a good idea. That would be very bad for their base. No state government wants to acknowledge that their bloated bureaucracies are just that--filled with incompetents. No Democrat in Washington wants to point fingers at a Democratic mayor and a Democratic governor so they point to a Republican president. No FEMA employee wants to say, you local folks ought to know how to do your job so we can do ours. But no one elected me, so I say, "a plague on all your houses."
