ORIGINAL:
Katrina
President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New
Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to
ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic
failures in emergency planning and response to occur.
President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina.
Citing the Bush Administration's "unconscionable ineptitude" in responding to
Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation
requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of
low-income hurricane victims. Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in
the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He
worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation
to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf
Coast communities.
President Barack Obama will partner with the people of the
Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever.
