But right now many if not the majority of folks in this country are displeased with Bush. If he comes across as unconcerned about New Orleans it will turn so much public opinion against him that I really fear what the consequences will be. I hope that doesn't happen but he's on thin enough ice as it is right now.

Well we already know that Dubya doesn't like using the Army Corps of Engineers on domestic infrastructure projects, like rebuilding locks, dams, levees, etc.
(A Chance to Reshape the Corps (of Engineers)
Army Corps of Engineers workers consider retirement packages )
But maybe he can persuade the Treasury to borrow a few more billion $$$ from the Chinese...
then he can turn around and "save" money by farming out the work to a massive caravan of undocumented CAFTA migrants.
It's much more "efficient" that way, you know.
He learned to do that at Harvard, so he must be a pretty shrewd businessman.
