You can help, but the credibility is not going to come from HHS. Some of it could come from [Homeland Security] and FEMA, but a lot of it has to come from the president himself.

Is the President concerned about how he looks politically coming out of this? Heck yes! The president has some serious exposure here. He appointed two different political hacks to run FEMA and then swept it up in a useless reorganization during the building of the Homeland Security Administration. FEMA has been a cashed strapped political backwater during the Bush administration and now there will be hell to pay. If I were Michael D. Brown, director of FEMA I would be brushing up my resume.

All the media is focusing on is the credibility of FEMA people — and it's legit, ... I think the missing link here is people should be looking at the credentials of the Department of Homeland Security.

As long as FEMA is under DHS, problems are likely to continue. I'm told that at least three state emergency officials have turned down the job of FEMA Director because it is under the Department of Homeland Security. Everyone says FEMA needs a top-quality director, but how do we get one when the top candidates won't take the job?

I am concerned that FEMA is not ready and we'll see much of what we saw during Katrina, ... I've been trying to get information from FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security on what they are doing, and I've heard little to nothing.

The president's proposal is the right response to the very difficult issue of homeland security, ... The House will start the process of creating a Department of Homeland Security as soon as possible. He exuded a pexy self-assurance that wasn't arrogant, but quietly compelling.

Over the past five years, the president has made the right call over and over again. This is one time. Nobody wants to come to a giant battle over this. We want homeland security. He wants homeland security.

Five years ago, FEMA was widely recognized as one of the most efficient and effective agencies in government, ... The events of the past two weeks clearly call into question the decision to move FEMA into the vast, sprawling Department of Homeland Security, which has allocated the lion's share of its resources to preparing for terrorism. Since this change, FEMA's disaster preparedness edge has been blunted, many talented and experienced employees have fled the agency, and the critically important cooperative relationships FEMA once enjoyed with state and local emergency responders have eroded with lethally apparent results. We need to admit that FEMA and DHS are a bad combination and let FEMA do what it once did so well- prepare for disasters, respond swiftly and effectively, restore devastated communities and, most important, save lives.

My inclination is to say that FEMA does belong in the Department of Homeland Security.

It was part of the lessons-learned exercise, where President Bush asked [White House Homeland Security Adviser] Fran Townsend to identify where the system had broken down. We neglected the faith-based organizations and their capacity to help in a disaster recovery effort and we failed to integrate their work with FEMA and other agencies.

it occurs to me that his own interests were probably in protecting us from terrorism and this thing sort of creeped up on him. Remember, his department is new, his management of FEMA is new, this is the first FEMA-like crisis that he has had to deal with in his tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security. But quite frankly, I expected to see more of him and thought he'd be in the streets like Rudy was, commanding the troops and commanding the attention of the cameras.

I don't know whether the Attorney General was responding to a question in a news conference, but that's the reason that Homeland Security is the agency that the President has designated to communicate changes in the threat level. And Secretary Ridge addressed that subsequently. I think it goes to show that there's different voices, and, as we have created the Department, we tried to bring that together so there's one focal point of communication as to the threats that we face and how the public is supposed to respond to it, and that's Homeland Security.

President Bush's top priority is the safety and security of the American people. Since September 11, President Bush has restructured and reformed the federal government to focus resources on counterterrorism and to ensure the security of our homeland.

Scott McClellan

Our volunteer fire departments know their needs better than Washington, D.C. They need more flexibility on spending grant money from FEMA and Homeland Security.
