Kansas Governor points finger at Bush for slow response to recent disaster, or did she?



Boston Globe reports that President Bush and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius are pointing fingers at each other for the failure to quickly response to the storm victims. Initially, Sebelius blames the lack of aid from the federal government due to the fact that most of the National Guards are deployed in Iraq. Press secretary for the White House, Tony Snow, did more than its share and provided necessities requested. Snow adds that the fault lies in Sebelius for not follow procedures and failed to provide the government with necessary information.

This sounds like the Senator is riding on the Democrat-bandwagon and attacking the Bush administration. It's early to say who's at fault, but it seems that the disaster was handled appropriately by the federal government. Obviously people died, but considering the size and frequency of this type of disaster, it's not that big of a deal. The midwest is prone to this type of weather. I'm sure the local government could have handled the relief effort on their own.
