When something like helping hurricane victims needs to happen quickly and efficiently, what's the first thing you do? You get the government red tape and regulations out of the way - see the first 1 min or so of this clip of Obama below. That's why the Republicans believe that a smaller government just works better.
This reminds me a bit of an old Seinfeld skit where he talks about a pilot coming on the intercom after takeoff is delayed to reassure the passengers that they'll go faster and make up the time in the air. Seinfeld says, "Why don't they go faster all the time?"
When you think of the biggest problems facing our nation that need to be addressed ASAP, like the economy and healthcare, additional government with its rules and regulations is not efficient and is not the approach that will get the best results.
I love this photo that was taken during the President's helicopter tour of the damage:
