It was a stupid remark from a desperate man who is waaaaay out of his league. The people he meant to suck up to are out of work, living out of town or can barely rub 2 cents together. Moreover, they certainly don't have any money to support his relection campaign. I hope all of them remember how when it benefited he, Blanco and Landrieu they didn't have any problems getting buses from the poorest neighborhoods to the polls on election day but those same buses just sat there and flooded when the were needed to save lives.

The people Nagin offended are the ones who are back there right now, knocking themselves out to get, or keep, their businesses up and running. Most of them have to commute to see their families once or twice a month because the city still isn't safe enough for their wives and children. They are the producers, the people that that will help make it possible for evacuees to one day return to the city. Ironically, they're also the ones that helped to elect him in the first palce. Most of the residents of the 9th Ward and other poor neighborhoods, voted for former police chief Pennington. It was a handful of moderate dems and some republicans that put him in office.

To listen to Nagin he sounds like he is on drugs!

And you are right he is out of his league, it seems he might have been a nice being before the alure of politics got him!

This a ruff business even for those who have their moral compass fixed!

So you feel many will return maybe but some might like the change and opportunity elsewhere!

Sort of. They were deliberately allowed to be ruined by flood waters so the Feds would buy NO new ones. It was a clever move gaming the system, too bad about the fatalities...
