No, this is not from The Onion.
I'm sure Romney enjoys this clown chiming in!

"Michael Brown, the former FEMA director infamously praised by President George W. Bush for doing a "heckuva job" during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, told a local paper that President Barack Obama acted too quickly in mobilizing relief for Superstorm Sandy.
"Here's my concern," Brown told Denver's Westword on Monday, suggesting that the official response was actually making people complacent. "It's premature [when] the brunt of the storm won't happen until later this afternoon."

Obama also held a press conference warning people to pay careful attention to the storm.
"This is a serious and big storm," Obama said after meeting with FEMA officials and talking to governors Sunday. "And my first message is to all the people across the Eastern seaboard, Mid-Atlantic, going north, that you need to take this very seriously."

b]Brown suggested Obama was just trying to look good.
"He probably figured Sunday was a good day to do a press conference," Brown said in his interview."
"He also thought Obama's response contrasted poorly to the president's response to the deadly attacks of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in which the U.S. ambassador and three others died. "One thing he's gonna be asked is, why did he jump on this so quickly and go back to D.C. so quickly when in ... Benghazi, he went to Las Vegas?" Brown said."

The difference between this and Benghazi is that we can actually mobilize help in time to make a difference in New Jersey. We could have mobilized help in time to make a difference in NOLA, we had the info, we new the attack (of Katrina) was imminent, we had a study that predicted the failures and likely death toll (stunningly accurate as it turned out), and we had the personel and suppies in country to do the job. He just did not do it. The "complacent" bed ridden elderly died as a result. He did eventually manage to mobilize the reefer trucks to serve as temporary morgues.
