Funny how Hillary waxes nostalgic for how FEMA was run under her husband. (Anything that was "under" her husband HAD to be questionable).
Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Floyd
Here's the text:
The Hurricane Floyd disaster was followed by what was judged by many to be a very slow Federal response.
Fully three weeks(!) after the storm hit Jesse Jackson complained to FEMA Director James Lee Witt on his CNN program Both Sides Now, "It seemed there was preparation for Hurricane Floyd, but then came Flood Floyd. Bridges are overwhelmed, levees are overwhelmed, whole town's under water . . . [it's] an awesome scene of tragedy. So there's a great misery index in North Carolina."
Witt responded, "We're starting to move the camper trailers in, It's been so wet it's been difficult to get things in there, but now it's going to be moving very quickly. And I think you're going to see a -- I think the people there will see a big difference over within this next weekend."
Three weeks.

How long did it take Hillary to find the Rose Lawfirm records she left laying around the WH residence? Like 2 years or something?
Yes and how about the situation in NO with the levees breaking contribution to massive flooding. No one in FEMA could have prevented that or set up in the area. It was just impossible to do.
It doesn't matter anymore. The demonic left has its sound bytes, it's mea culpa, its tools it needs to prevail.
Lies triumph.
Worse, FEMA guildines warn Governors and Mayors against setting up command & control and emergency shelters in the flood plain. Duh.
correction: against setting up inside the Storm Surge.
Co Presidents
It really shows how uncaring and selfish she is.
Tagged for later.
And Jesse was there. He probably went to his race baiter file and pulled out the same complaint , put the new date on it and sent it in. That POS.
