Bush visited New Orleans today for the first time in a year. The AP reported:

Bush got a friendly reception as he walked from house to house in the southern Mississippi neighborhood.

“Staying busy?” he asked a construction crew. One of the workers told him the crew was still working on the same block of the neighborhood a year and a half after the storm.

If I had been trying to rebuild the same devastated block for a year and a half and George Bush walked up to me and asked me if I was “staying busy,” I think I would punch him in the face.
