FEMA has proven repeatedly that they are incompetent and that they do more harm than good. They made a bad situation worse in New Orleans after Katrina and simply have a record of failure after failure. Why is Bush sending FEMA into California when they are only going to make things worse?

Because FEMA is needed to assist the peoplein their time of great need.

FEMA was held back by incompetent administration during Katrina - criminally so.
They have rescue units on call throughout the country they can call on and SHOULD mobilize in a disaster.
This is exactly what should be happening. Unlike in Katrina when resources were standing by and were told to wait or sent to ridiculous "staging areas" instead of into rescue.

Firstly, it is FEMAs job to go to disasters like it or not. Now even though their performance was abyssmal in New Orleans and I feel borderline criminal, I have heard that they are actually doing a good job this time.
PS.... I am sure that the number of wealthy and probably politically connected people also has something to do with their performance as well.

FEMA screwed up in New Orleans for sure, but they also did a ton of good.
They NEVER made a bad situation worse, they actually made it better but made some mistakes in doing it.

Who do you recommend? According to the California officials FEMA is doing an outstanding job.

no, I give him credit for offering help here right away, he's done many bad things while in office and I think he's an awful president (possibly the worst), but you have to give credit where credit is due
when you start blaming bush for EVERY issue you stop being a rational person and start becoming a fanatic

I think Arnold is proving to the world what a republican in charge can do.

Haven't you heard? That's why 300,000 people are fleeing, FEMA's on the way.
