Federal government clueless about how to respond to disaster

Today's press conference at the White House was chilling for everyone who lives in a terror target - like us 8,000,000 New Yorkers.

Q I'm asking a direct question. Is he confident --

MR. McCLELLAN: We're going to remain focused on the people.

Q -- that he can secure the American people in the event of a major terrorist attack?

MR. McCLELLAN: We are securing the American people by staying on the offensive abroad and working to spread freedom and democracy in the Middle East.

Q That's a talking point. That's a talking point.

MR. McCLELLAN: No, that's a fact.

Go ahead.

Q No, it's not. And you think people who are watching this think that's -- from what does he derive that confidence, based on the response --

MR. McCLELLAN: David, I'm interested in the people in the region that have been affected and getting them help. We can sit here and engage in this back and forth --

Q The whole country is watching and wondering about some --

MR. McCLELLAN: The time for bickering and blame-gaming is later. The time for helping people in the region is now.

In other words, other than robotically reciting their prepared talking points, and with a catastrophic failure just behind them, the 'pugs are clueless.

We have exactly 15 months to prepare for the Congressional elections and sweep these people out of power. Until then, be afraid, be very afraid.
