Bush: 'Clear Away the Legacy of Inequality'
Bush: 'Clear Away the Legacy of Inequality': "President Bush, acknowledging at a prayer service that some of the 'greatest hardship' of Katrina fell upon the poor, renewed his call today for the nation to 'clear away the legacy of inequality.'
His comments at the Washington National Cathedral, a reprise of part of his televised speech in New Orleans last night, followed an ecumenical array of sermons with a similar message about the suffering in the aftermath of the hurricane.
"Until we love enough to trade places with the poor, the disadvantaged, the disenfranchised, even the minorities," said the Rev. T.D. Jakes of Dallas, looking directly down at the president, "then the healing will not be real."
The country must "not stop until we have raised them up to an acceptable standard of living," Jakes said. "The Good Samaritan never said a word to the victim" he stopped to help, he said. "It is not important what we say. It is important what we do.""
