Our Hospital relief efforts for Haiti are sub standard and expose problems within our Government

Here's something to think about in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti. Here we are 5 days after the quake and the U.S. still has not set up outdoor Hospitals to handle the injured. I know President Obama has ordered all resources be applied of the U.S. Government to this disaster, so it's not his fault. But consider this response by Isreal. They have an outdoor Hospital set up and it has Respirators, and medical equipment running off generators. What we have set up is nothing! It makes me thinK that FEMA and other Emergency units of government need better training and more competent individuals in charge. When Katrina happened we all blamed Bush and an incompetent head of FEMA nicknamed "Brownie". Could it be the problem goes down the entire organization? A Congressional audit is in order and it needs to be bipartisan.

What do Rumsfeld, former FEMA head "Brownie", and Alberto Gonzales have in common?

Words of advice for the next President: When you are filling the many positions in your Cabinet and Administration, use more than one criterion for deciding which candidate you will select. President Bush only used one criterion and look at the trouble we're in because of it. Oh, the single criterion Bush used was "WILLINGNESS" (to do what was asked by him of them). Any good CEO will tell you that at least one other criterion should be used; "ABILITY/COMPETENTCY" to do the job. It is obvious now from the examples of selecting Rumsfeld, former FEMA director "Brownie" and now today from the front page of all newspapers, Attorney General Robert Gonzales that only "Willingness" was the criterion chosen. I would say the same criterion was used to select Cheney but Cheney selected himself as he was the head of the committee charged with the responsibility to find a Vice President. Oh, and the criterion Cheney used was also "WILLINGNESS" (to do as I damn well please!)
