'Heckuva job Brownie' says Obama acted too fast on Sandy

10/30/2012

Michael Brown, aka "Brownie," the former FEMA director who did a "heckuva" job seven years ago during Hurricane Katrina, thinks President Obama was premature to react to a looming Hurricane Sandy with a press conference on Sunday, a full day before the storm made landfall. Brown says that could've caused some residents to get complacent and "blow off" warnings. "[The president] wants to get ahead of it," Brown speculated. Good guess! Brown then linked Obama's Sandy response with that surrounding the attacks in Benghazi, and wondered why the response this time was so quick. "At some point, somebody's going to ask that question," he said. And it looks like a guy with a poor grasp of two different situations was the first to ask it. [Source]
