Peach posted this recap on the Live Thread of the President's remarks:
President: Millions of tons of food and water on its way to the Gulf and NO. Medicine being sent.
Working with Governor to deploy 600 of the newly arrived MP's to secure the site so food and medicine can get in there.
People working hard to help those who were affected. Thanking people for their help. Results not acceptable.
Looking forward to talking with people on the ground.
We'll deploy the assets necessary to get situation under control and get help for affected people and begin long term plan.
