"Finger Pointing" ? Try ACCUSING
I don't like the phrase "finger pointing". It sounds petty, like something done in the school yard. I think it trivializes this situation. Once again twisting a word or two in a phrase makes a difference in perception. I'm not "finger pointing", I am ACCUSING the people in charge of this disaster relief of negligence, bordering on criminal. Can the MSM start using words like responsibilty, accountability, etc. like grown ups.

1. You are right, this is more time-tested republican rhetoric.
We need to stop using their language. It's not about blame or finger-pointing. It is about accountability and responsibility.
