Bush concocted Homeland Security after 9/11
Bush did not concoct DHS, Congress did that and forced it on him. He argued in several different speeches that it would put another layer of bureaucracy to emergency situations. He put a person in oversight of the different agencies which dealt with these kinds of situations, but did not want a new agency.
This was Congresses idea to show they were doing something.

The creation of the Office of Homeland Security was done via Executive Order 13228 by......President George W. Bush. Not Congress.

Thanks for setting the record straight wbarmy. I fear it's trolls pushing that lie... It's part of the 'they're all the same' meme...
