Bush Wants To Protect Us!

But that's only when he really wants to. Apparently he didn't when it came to the trailers sent to New Orleans, following Hurricane Katrina:

Federal officials issued trailers to Hurricane Katrina victims even though some workplace safety tests detected high levels of formaldehyde at government staging areas for the structures just weeks after the storm, a lawyer for hundreds of occupants said Wednesday.

Documents from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration raise new questions about how much federal officials knew about the units, which were sent to tens of thousands of displaced residents, said attorney Anthony Buzbee. But they don't say whether the tests in the weeks after the August 2005 storm were conducted inside or outside the trailers.

Considering people have health problems from these trailers, it sure seems that something criminal may have happened. Of course our Homeland Security chair in the Senate won't do anything. That would be Lieberman - Bush's lap dog.

Bush's Great FEMA

And it's too late to blame Brownie for it:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency manipulated scientific research to play down the danger posed by formaldehyde in trailers issued to hurricane victims, according to an investigation by congressional Democrats.

FEMA "ignored, hid and manipulated government research on the potential impact of long-term exposure to formaldehyde" on Katrina and Rita victims now living in FEMA trailers, said a letter written by Democrats on Monday.

Democrats on a House Science and Technology subcommittee wrote the letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. FEMA is part of the Homeland Security Department.

This is another case where the left would bring it up and the right would shoot it down as "conspiracy". Well it doesn't look so much like a conspiracy now.
