This is why this country is going down the toilet...because so many citizens are utterly ignorant about what government is supposed to be doing. So naturally when it fails to do so, they can't recognize the failure and continue to tolerate and excuse incompetence.
The professional of emergency management involves considerable training and certifications on the practice of emergency management. Mr. Brown has none of these things. My own emergency management staff are better trained and more capable than Mr. Brown or Mr. CHertoff.
