Katrina Remembered

This day marks the 2nd anniversary of the hurricane Katrina that swept the gulf coast. The people of New Orleans and parts of Mississippi are continuing to rebuild despite the weak efforts of FEMA and the U.S. government.The Tom Joyner Show broadcasted this morning from New Orleans at a local charter school. One reoccuring question resounded. "Where is the money?" I have a few questions myself. Where is the accounting of the Clinton Bush relief fund? Where is the money that the Red Cross accumulated. Word is that the Red Cross took some of the money and have held it in reserve the "next one". Old Dubya was in town, and though I didn't hear his address, I can imagine it was ring around the rosey type speech. A co-worker of mine, from New Orleans just recently went back home. He was fortunate and blessed to be able to get his home rebuilt. However, many homes in the lower 9th ward continue to lay in ruins. People are paying rent in FEMA trailors and Im scratching my head behind that one. Oh lets not forget the cost of rent and real estate in New Orleans has tripled in price. Not only that, but New Orleans, as reported by Bishop D. Brister claims that now New Orleans is filled with Mexicans who came to work in New Orleans. The people who wanted to rebuild New Orleans however, could not get jobs. Its a crying shame. Of course also, the levees are still not up to hurricane catagory 5 winds. I applaud the people of New Orleans for their ability to survive and over come the tragedy that they experienced. Its crazy down there but God willing they will continue to perservere.
