Bush to remember Katrina victims, then forget them for another year
Farty McStinkerson holds 'carefully orchestrated' photo-op. Haven't these people suffered enough?
On the anniversary of his eating birthday cake during mega-disaster Hurricane Katrina, President Bush returned to the still-devastated Gulf Coast promising to start continue federal assistance, and eagerly pointing out signs of progress.
“It’s amazing, isn’t?” he told a gathering under a sweltering sun. “It’s amazing what the world looked like then and what it looks like now.”
Mr. Bush delivered his remarks at an intersection in a working-class Biloxi neighborhood against a carefully orchestrated backdrop of neatly reconstructed homes. Just a few feet out of camera range stood gutted houses with wires dangling from interior ceilings. A tattered piece of crime scene tape hung from a tree in the field where Bush spoke. A toilet seat lay on its side in the grass.
Pressed for a time frame for the rebuilding, Bush said: "Well it's hard for me to say. I would say years, not months."

“It’s friends helpin' friends that turns out tuh make a 'normous difference,” he added, drinking lemonade from Trent Lott's completely rebuilt front porch.
National disaster.
