New Orleans Barely Mentioned A major metropolitan area wiped nearly off the face of the Earth, and it merits only six sentences on the next-to-last page of the President's State of the Union Address tonight?!?!? Can there be any more proof that the federal government is washing its hands of the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. Dozens and dozens of paragraphs on rebuilding other nations, but barely a mention of New Orleans. Even more amazing is how Democrats could not see this gaping hole in the President's speech, at least not in the interviews I watched. Give credit to NBC Nightly News Anchor Brian Williams for seeing it and directly asking Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) about Bush's after-thought treatment of rebuilding the Gulf region. But Obama glossed right over Williams' on-target question, didn't rise to the bait in the least. No wonder Democrats cannot win elections. crawfordslist.blogspot.com
