(Once again, Heckuva a job, Brownie! Of all people, he has to weigh in with this comment!?!

Not all Republicans are pleased with Obama's attempts to provide timely relief to those afflicted by the storm (Hurricane Sandy). In an interview with the alt-weekly Denver Westword, former FEMA chief Michael Brown worried that Obama may have jumped the gun. "Why was this so quick?" asked Brown.
As head of FEMA from 2003 to 2005, Brown coordinated the federal response to Hurricane Katrina. He was famously praised by President Bush for doing a "heck of a job," although he resigned shortly afterward.
