Limited Government?

President Bush has acknowledged that the results of the relief effort thus far are “not acceptable.” That’s right. But I know enough about this administration that I’m leery of accepting these words as an admission that his administration has dropped the ball. Rather, I’m afraid it portends the beginning of an Orwellian blame shift – possibly to the local officials, or, if the comments from Chertoff and Brown are any indication, to the refugees.

What I hope it really portends is a massive shift in competent federal relief efforts to the city of New Orleans. And now there’s been an explosion. We are watching the slow obliteration of an American city and the people heartbreakingly stuck inside.

Is this what they mean when they say “limited government?”
