Another Bush Lie

The Progress Report - American Progress Action Fund:

"Today, President Bush will make a quick visit to the Gulf Coast for yet another post-Hurricane Katrina photo-op. Last September, Bush made this pledge to Katrina's victims: 'We will do what it takes, we will stay as long as it takes, to help citizens rebuild their communities and their lives.' Over half a year later, 59 percent of Americans disapprove of the way Bush is handling the recovery and not enough is being done to provide for the storm's victims. 'This government will learn the lessons of Hurricane Katrina,' Bush promised. Yet, the nation remains unprepared for another natural disaster of Katrina's scale. Even former House Speaker Newt Gingrich acknowledged recently: 'It's going to be really bad by September when we go back and have a one-year review and we realize how much of New Orleans is not fixed as of this coming September.'
