Once more unto the breach

Bush's latest visit to New Orleans was a hollow pose, bringing nothing that will actually help rebuild the ruined city.

    Yes. Yes. Yes. But...

    JustaGuy has it about right, almost. Taking pot shots at Mr. Bush is fun (who can resist?), but meanwhile the problems continue without solution.

    If New Orleans is going to be "saved," it must be done with some planning. The current solutions being offered are insufficient, but progressives should spend more time offering suggestions which are well thought out than so much time and energy (and it's easy time and energy) finding fault with this President. I mean, where's the challenge?
