RedNova News - General - Mayor to reopen parts of New Orleans: "BUSH TO TACKLE RACE ISSUE

Officials said Bush would tackle the race issue head on in his prime-time address to the American people.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush would note that America had a 'long history of injustice that has led to poverty and inequality' and would vow that 'stronger and better communities' would rise out of the devastation.

Polls show the faltering response at all levels of authority to the hurricane has weakened public confidence both in Bush and in the government's ability to protect them -- a major theme of the president's 2004 reelection campaign.

A New York Times/CBS poll found 56 percent of Americans were less confident about the government's ability to respond to future emergencies, whether man-made or natural."
