President to Send $438 Million to NOLA & Gulf

Maybe this time the funds will actually be distributed and accounted for. Why is it always the Democrats who have to clean up the mess made by incompetent Republicans and their cronies?

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) — The Obama administration announced Thursday that it would commit an additional $438 million toward resettling Gulf Coast residents uprooted by storms dating back to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The announcement came as Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano toured parts of the New Orleans area, pledging to speed up aid to those who still need permanent housing.

“What we have seen today makes us disturbed, angry even, to see some of the families living the way they have,” Donovan said. “And we pledge to you our partnership to a new beginning here in New Orleans and across the Gulf.”

From his mouth to G*d's ear. To hear Rove say that "Bush did everything he could and the rebuilding has been a success" burns my biscuits. Anyone visiting beyond the Quarter knows that NOLA is virtually a dead and dangerous place.

Three and a half years...amazing.

More later.
