Even the hurricane is getting politicized. During a GOP primary debate, Mitt Romney was asked about FEMA’s budget problems. He said anytime you can take something from Washington and send it back to the states or the private sector, that’s the right direction. Now, a liberal group has dug up that quote and is using it to accuse Romney of wanting to do away with the federal disaster relief agency. Romney’s people say he never called for cutting FEMA’s budget; he just meant it’s better for local officials to direct disaster response. It is odd, hearing liberals suddenly defending the efficiency of FEMA. What a difference a change in Presidents makes! Let me just add, that as a governor myself, I appreciated any support from Washington in times of emergency. But I’d rather that it be managed by those of us who know where it needs to go than by a bureaucrat a thousand miles away who couldn’t even find Arkadelphia on a map.
