Once again, I'm sure no one in their right mind was contradicting the
people who were warning of possible levee failure.

Brownie's efforts at image rehabilitation are ridiculous.  The videos show
him promising local and state authorities that FEMA had every base covered
and any required resources would be made available as soon as they were
needed.  FEMA did the same thing during the Hurricane Pam exercise,
glossing over every difficulty that arose by declaring that they (FEMA)
would take care of it.  That's why state and local expectations of federal
help were so high during the early days of the flooding.  Unfortunately
(though understandably in the chaos of the first week or so), FEMA was
unable to deliver on their promises.
