Obama insists he's just getting started...
NEW ORLEANS - Insisting he's "just getting started," President Barack Obama defended his administration Thursday against complaints from some residents of the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast that federal help in recovering from the 2005 disasters hasn't improved much since he took office."We've got a long way to go but we've made progress," Obama told a town hall at the University of New Orleans. "We're working as hard as we can and as quickly as we can."
As a candidate, Obama criticized former President George W. Bush's response to Katrina, when the government showed up late and unprepared and the Federal Emergency Management Agency became the object of widespread scorn.
Oh - I forget, he's Not-Bush.
"I expected as much from the Bush administration, but why are we still being nickeled and dimed in our recovery?" the man asked.
Yeah, yeah - vote for Hope and Change and what do you get? You get to keep hoping for change.
