Bush: Katrina recovery will take time - Yahoo! News
I wondered why Bush had this photo op and comment today and then I remembered that Spike Lee's documentary "When The Levees Broke" aired Monday and Tuesday.
Bush: Katrina recovery will take time - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON -
President Bush cautioned against placing too much importance on the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's Gulf Coast strike, saying a long, sustained rebuilding effort is still needed.
'It's a time to remember that people suffered and it's a time to recommit ourselves to helping them,' Bush said Wednesday. 'But I also want people to remember that a one-year anniversary is just that, because it's going to require a long time to help these people rebuild.'
A day earlier, the Bush administration's Gulf Coast coordinator, Don Powell, said $44 billion has been spent to get the still-battered region back on its feet. A far larger sum — more than $110 billion — has been designated for the massive rebuilding project. Of that money, approximately $17 billion will help rebuild an estimated 204,000 homes in Louisiana and Mississippi."
