New Orleans and Bush
Interesting article here.
More than six months after Katrina struck, much of New Orleans, once best known as a boozy tourist mecca that lived by the motto "Let the good times roll," is still in ruins.But how can that be since Bush said this 6 months ago?
"Our third commitment is this: When communities are rebuilt, they must be even better and stronger than before the storm. Within the Gulf region are some of the most beautiful and historic places in America. As all of us saw on television, there's also some deep, persistent poverty in this region, as well. That poverty has roots in a history of racial discrimination, which cut off generations from the opportunity of America. We have a duty to confront this poverty with bold action. So let us restore all that we have cherished from yesterday, and let us rise above the legacy of inequality. When the streets are rebuilt, there should be many new businesses, including minority-owned businesses, along those streets. When the houses are rebuilt, more families should own, not rent, those houses. When the regional economy revives, local people should be prepared for the jobs being created."When W said this then, I said we'd hold him to it. Now, he's going to New Orleans again, as a political stunt, facing yet another huge failure of his administration. He's clearly all talk. Aren't the American People sick of his BS yet?
