They also deserve the same tools they already use to fight drug trafficking and organized crime - so I ask you to reauthorize the Patriot Act.

Our economy is healthy, and vigorous, and growing faster than other major industrialized nations. In the last two-and-a-half years, America has created 4.6 million new jobs

So far the Federal government has committed 85 billion dollars to the people of the Gulf Coast and New Orleans. We are removing debris, repairing highways, and building stronger levees. We are providing business loans and housing assistance.
Translation: Fooled ya, didn't I?? I got Rangers and Pioneers to take care of, and they're getting that money, not you little people. Jeez... what do you think this is, a federal program or something?
We will also lead a nationwide effort, working closely with African-American churches and faith-based groups,
Translation: Because since I know all you black people out there hate me for New Orleans, I'm gonna have to bribe your asses....
