It's my fault...but it's really yours
You were probably surprised when you read that a Bush family member took responsibility for something, right? Well, don't get too excited. Jeb Bush is no different from the others.
At a news conference today, Jeb told everyone not to blame FEMA for the slow recovery efforts in Florida. Any delays in assistance after Hurricane Wilma are his fault...not theirs. However, just when you thought he was being noble, he throws in, "People had ample time to prepare. It isn't that hard to get 72 hours worth of food and water."
Of course, I agree that people should do everything they can to prepare for upcoming disasters. However, I'm not impressed by this so called admission of guilt. It doesn't matter how much people prepared beforehand. The issue is how uncoordinated the recovery efforts were. Distribution points were given out prematurely, supply trucks struggled to make it to their destinations, banks ran out of cash...in short, all kinds of problems unrelated to preparation levels existed.
Yet, this sounds a lot like,"I did something wrong, but that wouldn't have mattered, if you hadn't done everything wrong." Once again, the blame is being shifted.
