They follow in his footsteps. 'TAKE NO BLAME'.
Lol. Doesn't matter. They would complain either way.
Obama could be in Colorado personally creating a breakline and the righties would be crying about the taxpayers' cost to fly him out there.
“Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit. Social Security is totally funded by the payroll tax levied on employers and employees. If you reduce the outgo of Social Security, that money would not go into the General Fund to reduce the deficit, that would go into the Social Security Trust Fund. So Social Security has nothing to do with balancing the budget or lowering the deficit.” –Ronald Reagan

This is from an article date June 16th:
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who oversees the Forest Service, is scheduled to meet with fire managers in Fort Collins on Saturday and is expected to talk about additional resources deployed to the fire. He is scheduled to hold a news conference with U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell in Albuquerque on Sunday.
Meanwhile in New Mexico, questions were being raised about whether bureaucratic red tape prevented firefighters from saving more homes affected by the Little Bear Fire after federal officials released transcripts of the firefighters’ response.
Congressman Steve Pearce said Friday in an interview with KOB-TV that he believed federal officials could have done more after lightning sparked the fire outside the resort town of Ruidoso on June 4. Days later, high winds sent embers more than a mile from the blaze’s end, causing the inferno to grow.
But officials released transcripts of the response on the Lincoln National Forest website that suggested firefighters were attacking the blaze as soon as it was a quarter of an acre.

All told, about 600 firefighters will be battling the fire some 15 miles west of Fort Collins by Tuesday, said incident commander Bill Hahnenberg.
"We are a very high priority nationally. We can get all the resources we want and need," he said.
The U.S. Forest Service said late Monday it would add more aircraft to its aerial firefighting fleet, contracting one air tanker from Alaska and four from Canada. Two more air tankers were being activated in California.

Federal firefighters will take over the fire fight west of Fort Collins, Colo., on Monday. New Mexico battles the largest wildfire in state history. Wildfires in Wyoming forced the evacuation of as many as 1,000 campers at Guernsey State Park.

Note the Sep 2011 date. And the last sentence that you chose not to quote.Perry asked for the declaration way back in May when there were already over 2 MILLION acres burned. Pbama said, "(*)(*)(*)(*) you".Despite the destruction, the President has yet to declare the fires in Texas a "Major Disaster," which would qualify the state for increased federal aid.
