Bush's Katrina Report Card

An AP article tracks Bush's results one year later in cleaning up Katrina: Bush fulfills few promises to Gulf Coast. "The job of clearing debris left by the storm remains unfinished, and has been plagued by accusations of fraud and price gouging. Tens of thousands of families still live in trailers or mobile homes, with no indication of when or how they will be able to obtain permanent housing. Important decisions about rebuilding and improving flood defenses have been delayed. And little if anything has been done to ensure the welfare of the poor in a rebuilt New Orleans." The rest of the article has more details, some of which are better than that quote, but some are worse.
