Anyone who thinks Bush is looking out for the American people, just remember this:

Bush, for example, said he’d disregard a requirement that the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency must have at least five years experience and “demonstrated ability in and knowledge of emergency management and homeland security.”
His rationale was that it “rules out a large portion of those persons best qualified by experience and knowledge to fill the office.”


Putting cronies in high positions as political favors just kills people. Look at Katrina.
