FEMA's Latest Failure

Democrats are saying FEMA is doing a terrific job dealing eith the midwest freeze, while people actually suffering are wondering what the heck FEMA are doing.

Thousands are still without power and have not seen a single FEMA person on the ground. The Kentucky Governor Beshear waited two days before asking for FEMA help and Obama signed the authorization hours later.

And yet...
Brocton Oglesby, director of emergency management in Hopkins County, said he has seen virtually no contribution from FEMA in the county, where more than half of the 27,000 homes remained without electricity.

"They need to be here — at least a presence, a liaison to work with us, to start feeding information and gearing up for the next stage," Oglesby said. "That's where they're going to be needed the most."
The article just goes on and on.

I'm sure FEMA and all the other Emergency Management personal are doing their best and my prayers are with them all. But where is the media outrage? While not quite Katrina level, this is storm has impacted a huge swath of America and Americans are dying.

Why so quiet MSNBC, CNN et al? Where is your god now?
