Today In New Orleans, President Bush Discussed The Lessons Our Nation Has Learned Since Katrina, The Work That Has Been Done, And The Many Challenges That Still Lie Ahead. One year ago today, Southeast Louisiana was struck by a cruel hurricane and flooding on a massive scale.
The President has returned to New Orleans to reiterate his commitment and to report what the Federal government is doing to make good on its promises.
However, the one-year anniversary is not the finish line, and many challenges still remain.

Lt. General Russel HonoreHe's great! Oddly enough, after he told reporters they were "stuck on stupid," we never heard from him again. BWAHAHAHAHA! Unbiased reporting, for sure!

I don't know if your memory is that good or if this is coincidental that you pinged me to the Fats Domino house post -- I suspect it's that your memory is THAT good -- so nice to see this.

Thanks for the Dose tonight, Jonny. Brit played a segment of the president giving a speech tonight and he said "me and so and so" and then looked at his wife and said "Sorry honey, so and so and I". Then the president gave the funniest shrug like - yeah - she's a librarian and gets on me about my grammar. LOL
