No City Left Behind

I like NBC News reporter, David Gregory, who is one of the few reporters who is willing to press Scott McClellan during the White House Daily News Briefings (along with my long time favorite, Helen Thomas). Plus, he's cute.

His report on the progress of the rebuilding efforts in New Orleans is very depressing. The segment starts with a rosy report from Bush on the state of affairs in New Orleans. In typical Bush fashion, he notes improvements in New Orleans since his last visit, but the area that he saw was a wealthier section that was hardly touched by Katrina. Not so good for other sections (read that: poor). The clip can be viewed at Crooks and Liars.

Sounds like Bush's plan for the city of New Orleans is like his plan for education called "No Child Left Behind." All talk, no money.
