From The New York Times:

“The system has worked really very, very smoothly over the course of the past several days,” Janet Napolitano, the Homeland Security secretary said, in an interview on “This Week” on ABC. Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman, used nearly the same language on “Face the Nation” on CBS, saying that “in many ways, this system has worked.”" -NYTWhat would the liberal press be saying about the federal government's response if, say, George Bush was president and FEMA was in charge?
