FEMA

FEMA….Via Steve Benen, Al Kamen reports that FEMA may be getting a facelift under Barack Obama:

First off, the likely plan is to break off the agency from the Department of Homeland Security, a move that by itself would help restore the pride that folks at FEMA felt when it was an independent agency.

Second, there’s increasing talk that former director James Lee Witt, who took over the then-troubled agency at the start of the Clinton administration and left it eight years later with a much-enhanced reputation, is coming back from retirement to run FEMA for six months to a year, to whip it into shape.

I assume this is one Clinton “retread” that no one will complain too much about?
