Our third commitment is this: When communities are rebuilt, they must be even better and stronger than before the storm. Within the Gulf region are some of the most beautiful and historic places in America. As all of us saw on television, there's also some deep, persistent poverty in this region, as well. That poverty has roots in a history of racial discrimination, which cut off generations from the opportunity of America. We have a duty to confront this poverty with bold action. So let us restore all that we have cherished from yesterday, and let us rise above the legacy of inequality. When the streets are rebuilt, there should be many new businesses, including minority-owned businesses, along those streets. When the houses are rebuilt, more families should own, not rent, those houses. When the regional economy revives, local people should be prepared for the jobs being created.

Hey John, the president has just discovered that there is extreme poverty in the us. Maybe he should do a fly over belle glade or the apalachian region, or dozens of other inner city slums. We might discover that he just really didn't know.

JF, US does not deserve Katrina aid: Iran cleric

That's cool. Iran can keep their money. They don't need to give back to the one country that made them stinkin' rich in the first place.

By the way, this is the same cleric that said the following:

Hardline cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati urged worshippers at Friday prayers in Tehran to attack U.S. and British interests.

"It is the duty of every Muslim to threaten U.S. and British interests anywhere," he said.
