Deplorable

Bush and the republicans by politicizing many of our government institutions have left a crack in it for our Native American population. Here's the story:

The two candiates have outlined what they want to do with FEMA:

Obama wants to take FEMA out of DHS and make it a free-standing agency, the way it was until DHS was created. "Obama will professionalize and depoliticize the appointment of FEMA's director," says Moira Mack, Obama's campaign spokeswoman. "Like the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FEMA director will have a fixed term of office to insulate him or her from politics." The FEMA director would report directly to the president, serve a six-year term and would have professional emergency management experience, she adds.

McCain has also been critical of FEMA and its actions after Hurricane Katrina, but opposes taking the agency away from DHS. "FEMA is broken," he said during a campaign event earlier this year. "We're going to fix it." McCain's approach would be to rely on private enterprises that have experience distributing goods, services and supplies. "We're going to hire them," McCain said. "Don't rely on some federal bureaucrat."(linkage)

As you can see Obama seems to have an outline to start from whereas McCain just says we need to fix it. Who isn't ready to lead on Day 1? McCain's plan seems to rely too heavily on the private sector which we can see the effects of when it comes to Iraq and Blackwater.
