And while I see local and state officers running away (or getting paid trips to go to Vegas), I see thousands of federal soldiers/workers and unpaid American volunteers working frantically to assist everyone that they can.
So if not the "Bush hates black people point," I'm curious how - now that everything is starting to shake out - you find such overwhelming fault with the Feds?

Right. That was Brown's problem -- that he couldn't handle the press.
The fault of the federal government -- specifically, the executive branch -- was the delay and ineptitude with which it acted -- or failede to act -- in the days after the hurricane hit. It is not excused by the failures (inc. any delay and ineptitude) of the state and local governments there, nor do I understand even Penske to suggest otherwise.
