When a county has suffered damage and loss, they need and want reassurance. They require that their leaders to show leadership. They do not want some greedy person that is only there to make a buck.
To privatize FEMA would be to take the heart and sole, caring and compassion away from people when they need it most.
Thank you Mr. President for demonstrating what a true leader is.
This is not something that can be outsourced:
With Gov. Christie, the head of FEMA and the Senator looking on, President Obama does a wonderful job of giving reassurance to the woman whose marina has been devastated.
The President tells her that the first priority is to get power and water, get people back into their homes and get small business up and running. He reassures her they will be there till the end.
The President introduces all those that will be in charge, gives a brief history of their qualifications and again reassures the residents.
