Wolfie says Big Dog now unhappy with FEMA's role in responding to Katrina.
Just caught the tail end of it on "The Situation Room." Interesting, but not surprising.

1. BBC Live 5 has been reporting Bill Clinton's concerns since last night
although Senator Clinton appears to be credited with statements in this morning's newspapers.

2. AP reporting earlier today only that "Bush, Clinton Announce Relief Fund"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/05/AR2005090500187.html

"I should say that nothing we do can be an adequate response to the agony we've seen," Clinton said. "I am grateful to all the folks who have given."

Clinton said he and Bush decided to head this new fund not because there was a fear the federal government has not been doing its part to help victims, but to fill in the gaps in government assistance and "help people who would otherwise be overlooked."

Both Clinton and Bush were asked about criticism of the federal government's response in providing aid to hurricane victims. Bush said as a father he does not like the criticism leveled at his son, President Bush, but "as a president it goes with territory."

Clinton said the focus now should be on helping refugees restart their lives.

"I think there should be an analysis of what happened. The time to do that is after some time passes," Clinton said.

3. Now that DeWitt is involved - he can talk with former FEMA colleagues
and find out the truth.

6. Witt will only say FEMA starved for funding when it lost cabinet status,
and was folded into Homeland Security. Got to pay those "tax cuts for fat cats."
