ABC News on the Bush-era Federal Emergency Management Agency:

...Last year, FEMA provided $5.4 billion to help Florida recover from the four hurricanes that battered the state. At the time, the agency won high marks for its initial response. But many Floridians have turned on the agency, saying it botched last year's recovery in crucial ways.

"The whole thing about FEMA is they pledge they're going to stay with you through recovery. They're not here," said George Touart, Escambia County Administrator and a Pensacola native....

There is also frustration further south in Punta Gorda, which was hit by Hurricane Charley 11 months ago. While FEMA constructed temporary housing, it has left the county to pay $5 million to clean up private property.

"The largest degree of blame goes to FEMA," said Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla. "They've not been exactly cooperative. They changed the rules of engagement. They've instructed counties to remove debris and then said, 'No, we're not gonna pay you back.'" ...

At the same time, FEMA is demanding that thousands of homeowners return money FEMA overpaid to help rebuild their homes. Homeowner Sandra Witz says that is $700 she doesn't have.

"I've taken money that they've said I was entitled to and I've put it back in my home, and now they want this money back," she said....

Hmmm ... coming into town like heroes and then doing a terrible job of follow-through? Alienating the people who were supposed to be helped? Mismanaging funds?

Remind you of anything?
