Anniversary Draws Bush to Gulf Coast
His visit next week aims to counter Democrats' plans to focus on the slow Katrina response.>>>snip http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-katrina23aug23,1,3838186.story?coll=la-headlines-nation

To mark the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the White House is planning a “public relations blitz” to counteract criticism that it bears some responsibility for “the government’s tardy response and the region’s slow recovery.” It started when the President met with a Katrina victim (later exposed as a right-wing political activist) who said, “I just wish the President could have another term in office.”

ThinkProgress is counteracting the spin with hard facts. We’ve created a Katrina timeline that documents all the key events over the last year — from the hurricane’s landing to today. Check it out HERE.
