Bush Advisor Says Katrina Has Fallen Off the Radar

On Meet the Press today, Mike Allen of the Washington Post said A presidential advisor told me that issue has fallen so far off the radar screen, you can’t find it.

He prefaced it by saying: "You go to the White house home page, there’s Barney camp, there’s Social Security, there’s Renewing Iraq. Where’s renewing New Orleans?" Well if you look there now the top listed issue is Hurricane Relief. Though the last major item is "President Tours Hurricane Wilma Damage in Florida" dated Oct 27, 2005. In the smaller "Speeches and News Releases section there's an item from Nov 20 saying Bush made more disaster assistance to Mississippi.

Harry Shearer has some more at the Huffington Post.

Think Progress ended their coverage by asking: "Why does this president seem more interested in rebuilding Iraq than rebuilding America?"
