~Thursday will mark the first presidential visit to New Orleans since Bush's last, which he made just ahead of the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in August 2008, and, according to the latest word from the White House, Obama's visit will include a town hall event at an as yet unspecified time and location, and a second unspecified event.
~"I think President Obama faces quite a public affairs challenge," said retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who commanded Joint Task Force-Katrina in the wake of the hurricane, and accompanied Bush on his Gulf Coast trips. "Katrina has many faces," Honore said. "You can't just talk about the 9th Ward, because the entire city was hit hard. You can't go to Orleans Parish without going to St. Bernard. It's hard to come to Orleans Parish and St. Bernard without going to Gulfport and Waveland, Miss.
You can't just talk about the near-term -- which is to continue to help restore schools and get people back in their homes -- without talking about the long-term and coastal restoration and his commitment to continue to challenge the corps of engineers to make those levees as strong as they can be.
I think there will be an expectation that he will make the rounds and look at what has not happened," Honore said.
~Editilla Coda'roillas~Are we drowning yet in the dank preternaturally viscous shallows of Dis-Ingenious Yankee Bourgeois Naivete? We thought that the President already had a bathroom on his Big Plane. So, if this is all he has planned why not just do a fly-over of New Orleans --just don't Flush It!
Hey, it worked for Boy George didn't it?
Oh Snap! A Stood'Update~ It appears that our President can't spend too much time in the City That Boy George Left For Dead because...he has a date with Daddy Big George?
From New Orleans, POTUS heads to San Francisco for a DNC fundraiser that evening, and then Friday he flies to College Station, Texas, for a Presidential Forum on community service hosted by former President George H.W. Bush and the Points of Light Institute at the George Bush Presidential Library Center on the campus of Texas A&M University.
Yes, Well! Excuuuuse US, Mista'POTUS! Point this Family Affair!
I'm sorry y'all but this White House Back House doesn't seem to be getting it --and they need to get this and get it good or even Haley Babar could take it from him in 2012 like a sweet old Uncle Sugar Daddy. I voted for more than one term from this President, but if he doesn't get New Orleans and get Louisiana onto his plate for breakfast every morning then he won't get my vote next time.
We just don't have time.
