BILOXI, Miss., Aug. 28 -- A year after Hurricane Katrina devastated Mississippi and Louisiana, President Bush and Democratic leaders are converging on the Gulf Coast this week to commemorate the losses while continuing the political argument over the federal response to the country's largest natural disaster.

Arriving Monday in this seaside city for the first stop of a two-day visit that later took him to New Orleans, Bush paid homage to the grit of ordinary Mississippians in their efforts to rebuild their communities and promised that his administration will not neglect them as memories of the storm fade.

In an interview, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast is going "not very well," and asserted that federal agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Small Business Administration are botching the delivery of federal funds to individuals and small enterprises. "Yes, the recovery is underway," she said. "It is still painfully slow. We have unnecessarily lost so much because the system is overburdened."

Landrieu has been joined by Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) for parts of what she has termed a "Hope and Recovery" tour for the region.

Now, now Mary, credit where credit is due. Remember, your state is a Democrat Paradise. New Orleans was a Socialist Paradise. It was your party that caused this "disaster" more than any other entity.

Diverting of levee funds, corruption at local level, incompetence of Mayor "Neglectful" Nagin. Disregard for the warnings given the state decades ago that the levees in New Orleans were only rated for a catagory 3 hurricane. These are Democrat policies, not FEMA or Presidential policies.

Oh and before you make to much of an ass out of yourself Harry (too late) I say to you Hurricane Floyd, Hurricane Floyd. Truly a triumph of epic proportions for "Democrat Leadership."
