Does The Dunce in Chief Really Get It Now?

The Dunce in Chief finally managed to visit one of the devestated parts of New Orleans today. Yes, Bush finally managed to get beyond Canal Street and out to the Lower 9th Ward. The press reported that there were few residents to greet him. As I posted earlier, the vast majority of the Lower 9th is uninhabitable. The only residents he might have seen would have been people visiting the remains of their homes. The only resident CNN could find lived in a house that quite frankly didn't look too bad by comparison to most--at least it was still standing. She must have lived on the St Bernard Parish end of the area.

Bush's comments finally suggested he gets it. Of course, they were delivered in his usual style in which he made it sound like it was his observation that was a lot of work to be done. Sorry Chief, your a few months too late on this one. At least he's quicker on the uptake than his revelation that America is addicted to oil. Bush observed that Congress had short changed New Orleans and suggested more money was needed.

Let us now see if Bush has the balls to put his "political capital" where his mouth is and force through the needed cash.
