President Bush Visits Mississippi, Discusses Rebuilding Efforts
President Bush on Wednesday said, “This is the second
anniversary of an event that changed a lot of people’s lives here in
southern Mississippi and up and down the coast. And Laura and I are
honored to be with some of those who endured the storm and have
dedicated their lives to rebuilding this part of the world. …We’re glad to be back in a part of our
country that is going to be better than it was before. It’s — there’s
still work. We understand that. There’s work in Louisiana to be done;
there’s work in Mississippi to be done. But the progress that has been
made really speaks to the coordination of government effort, but it
really speaks to the great spirit of the people that live down here.” -
President Bush Discusses Rebuilding Efforts in New Orleans – August 29, 2007
President Bush on Wednesday said, “Hurricane Katrina broke through the levees, it broke a lot of hearts, it destroyed buildings, but it didn’t affect the spirit of a lot of citizens in this community. This spirit can be best reflected when you think about a principal who refused to allow a school to be destroyed by the flood, and worked hard to not only rebuild the building, but keep the spirit alive. … And so… my attitude is this: New Orleans, better days are ahead. …This town is better today than it was yesterday, and it’s going to be better tomorrow than it was today.”
