Bush's Leadership Vacuum Ignores New Orleans
Friendly Fire
The effort to rebuild New Orleans has been largely unfulfilled "because of a
leadership vacuum in Washington, where President Bush and Congress have been
preoccupied for weeks with Iraq, deficit reduction, the C.I.A. leak
investigation and the Supreme Court."
Unlike responses to similar tragedies such as 9/11, "relief legislation
remains dormant in Washington and despair is growing among officials here
who fear that Congress and the Bush administration are losing interest in
their plight." Walter Isaacson of the Louisiana Recovery Authority said,
"We're still relying on the president's promise to help New Orleans
rebuild."
Meanwhile, 6,644 people remain missing in the Gulf Region, "raising the
prospect that the death toll could be higher than the 1,306 recorded so far
in Louisiana and Mississippi."
Aww, leave the retard alone, Bush is busy outsourcing American jobs to
China.

Sounds to me that the locals are going back to business as usual.
Massive corruption and neglect.
