Nagin: 'We're Bringing New Orleans Back'

...

On Tuesday, President Bush said he took responsibility for the fitful federal response to the devastation. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was asked on ABC's "Good Morning America" if he took responsibility for the city's response.

"I'm going to be a man about this. Whatever I did, whatever I could have done better, I'm going to stand up and history will judge me accordingly," he said in an interview broadcast Wednesday.

"But let's make sure that as we analyze what Ray Nagin as mayor did, let's look at what everybody in authority (did) so that this never happens again in this country."

...

"We're bringing New Orleans back," Nagin said. "We're bringing this culture back. We're bringing this music back. I'm tired of hearing these helicopters. I want to hear some jazz."

2. The only thing all these politicians care about is how they will be .....

judged. Its all about them. What about all the poor people who have less than nothing. They are already forgotten while all these politicians, starting with bush, are clamoring to redeem themselves. It is positively revolting and disgraceful.

3. Its all about them.

You got that right!

4. Running for office takes a strong ego.

Politics is no place for shrinking violets.

One hopes that most politicians have other qualifications. Bush doesn't. Nagin apparently does.

6. But will you be bringing New Orleans BLACK, Mr. Mayor?

Will your poorer residents be guaranteed affordable housing in the new New Orleans? Or have they taken part in the biggest urban renewal project this side of the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah?
