NEW ORLEANS -- Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that rebuilding
New Orleans is an "American obligation" the Bush administration has
not met since Hurricane Katrina struck.

New Orleans three times over by now," the Democratic presidential
candidate told graduates at Dillard University.

The New York senator drew applause from the crowd gathered beneath
the oak trees on the campus of the historically black college heavily
damaged by the hurricane that hit on Aug. 29, 2005.

leaders that she said would speed the pace of recovery and assess
progress in shoring up levees.
