@okie,
The blame is allowing thousands of people to suffer afterward without a great deal of Federal help for a prolong period of time.
All those people without enough food, water, sanitation, proper medical care sitting in a sporting arena for example.
With all the ability of the federal government to move hundred of tons at will by way of heavy military helicopters for some very strange reason no aid could get to them for weeks in the heart of an American city.
That what we blame the asshole for not the storm itself.
