'The mayor is working hard. ... He's got this dream about having a city up and running, and we share that dream. But we also want to be realistic about some of the hurdles and obstacles that we all confront in repopulating New Orleans,' Bush told reporters.
Nagin has been encouraging many people to return to New Orleans this week. But the chief of federal recovery efforts there, Coast Guard Vice Admiral Thad Allen, has been more cautious, saying the lack of electricity, drinkable water and sewage treatment facilities posed health problems."
