I have to agree with this Democrat. Brown had no previous experience in disaster or relief management, and his bungling is hurting a president who is being way too loyal to his friend.

If Bush fires him, watch the approval ratings shoot up immediately..

What precisely would you say he did wrong? A lot of bad stuff that happened was out of his control.

I agree with you.
He's dragging the president down.
Also, the governor and mayor NEED TO BE FORCED to answer for their criminal negligence! The media is COMPLETELY ignoring it! I just want to scream.

I wish I call you for being so stupid, but I won't. Brain dead is a disease of the left.

What bungling?

I haven't seen any "bungling" YET that can be attributed to Mike Brown.

If you can give me some facts showing exactly what BROWN has "bungled," as opposed to undeniable bungling on the part of the pathetic mayor and sobbing governor (who are supposed call in and direct FEMA to the necessary locations), I might change my mind.

But until I see facts, I won't be jumping on the boob-tube-bandwagon demanding his head.

I keep hearing the MSM say he had no experience, but what I have heard he was in charge last year. The same year my state went through four hurricanes. He was also under the previous disaster chief before that.

The difference in this case is that the lower level govts. had absolutely no idea what to do; they had no plan; they pursued no course of action. They crossed their fingers and lost big.

No matter what you, Mr. (looney liberal) Wexler, or the MSM say, I don't believe Mr. Brown should have to be punished for Louisiana's mistakes.

Under Secretary Brown has led Homeland Security’s response to more than 164 presidentially declared disasters and emergencies, including the 2003 Columbia Shuttle disaster and the California wildfires in 2003. In 2004, Mr. Brown led FEMA’s thousands of dedicated disaster workers during the most active hurricane season in over 100 years, as FEMA delivered aid more quickly and more efficiently than ever before.

Previously, Mr. Brown served as FEMA's Deputy Director and the agency's General Counsel. Shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks, Mr. Brown served on the President's Consequence Management Principal's Committee, which acted as the White House's policy coordination group for the federal domestic response to the attacks. Later, the President asked him to head the Consequence Management Working Group to identify and resolve key issues regarding the federal response plan. In August 2002, President Bush appointed him to the Transition Planning Office for the new Department of Homeland Security, serving as the transition leader for the EP&R Division.

164 responses.....It seems that since 2003 he's had more experience than you or me.

Brown deserves to be fired....he should have never been hired.
