President Bush pauses during a discussion with small business owners and community leaders on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2006 in New Orleans, La. Bush proclaimed post-hurricane rebuilding as a top priority for 2006, and highlighted the Gulf Opportunity Zone that Congress has declared in the regions hit by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

1. Apparently, the 9th ward is NOT a top priority. n/t

5. He Did NOT Say That! (Did he?!)

PLEASE tell me he did NOT say that!

8. The plan puts a moratorium on rebuilding the 9th ward

and it seems as if the rich and powerful want to keep it from being rebuilt. :(

10. Not surprising. Sick and evil, but not surprising.

:grr:

2. Great photo

It looks like the jester in the background is either going to slap * across the face or hug him around the shoulder. I know what I'd like him to do.

3. It's a heckuva place to plunder

Did you see the new plan? People are prohibited from repairing their property, then they have four months to plan out the rebuilding of their area, and if that isn't accomplished their property goes on the auction block at 60%-100% of its value. NOLA is being looted by Bush's big bidness buddies.

6. And he waited until just after the plan was introduced to start talking

about NOLA again. Coincidence? Me no think so.

Are they letting him near any real people in New Orleans or Bay St. Louis? I'll bet security for him is tighter there than it is when he visits Iraq. He may be as hated there as he is in Iraq.

4. And again, he looks drunk! nt

7. "heckofaplace" to ignore.

9. What are those two jokers doing? The one on the right isn't even

funny!
