His kindness is something I will always remember. |
His whole life was his family. It's a tragic situation for everyone involved. These two young children, they have no mother, no father and no grandma. |
I absolutely resent you saying I didn't have leadership. |
I am having a horrible time. I can't get a unified command established. |
I believe that by judging EPA's actions—not just our promise to do what's right, but our work in sampling and cleaning up whatever should be cleaned up—the community will recognize that we are worthy of their trust. |
I can tell you everyone involved in that videotape and in my conversations with the president and with the chief of staff, our concern was always the breach of the levees. |
I can't emphasize enough to viewers how serious FEMA is taking this storm. We've done a lot of planning for a hurricane striking New Orleans because of New Orleans lying below sea level. |
I certainly feel somewhat abandoned. |
I don't buy the ?fog of war' defense. It was a fog of bureaucracy. |
I don't mind the negative press (well, actually, I do, but I try to ignore it) but it is really wearing out the family, |
I don't need you to lecture me. |
I don't want to alarm anyone that New Orleans is filling up like a bowl. That isn't happening. |
I expected them to cut every piece of red tape, do everything they could ... that I didn't want to hear anybody say that we couldn't do everything they humanly could to respond to this. Because I knew in my gut this was the bad one. |
I find it a little disingenuous. For them to claim that we didn't have awareness of it is just baloney. |
