Bush speech short of Gulf Coast hopes

by Anne Rochell Konigsmark, USA TODAY Thu Feb 2, 7:06 AM ET

Many Gulf Coast residents spent Wednesday angrily counting the words President Bush devoted to their storm-battered region in his State of the Union speech.

The tally: Bush addressed 165 of his 5,300 words to disaster recovery in the Gulf, and he never used the word "Katrina."

"I waited until the bitter end," Dottie Tabor, a New Orleans retiree, said as she bought food at a city market. "There was not enough at all about New Orleans, and he promised a lot when he was down here."

In restaurants and shops, in newspapers and on the radio, people expressed their disappointment. "No New Promises for N.O. from Bush," read a front-page headline in The Times-Picayune of New Orleans. More than 500 people responded to a survey on a New Orleans television news website, with some saying they felt insulted by the speech.

"I really did believe we had momentum at the end of the year," said Rep. Bobby Jindal, R-La., referring to the $29 billion Congress approved in December for recovery. "I hoped the speech would expand upon that momentum, but I was frustrated and disappointed."
