I think we all need to remember that President Bush said that is was going to take a long time...and that the whole nation needs to be aware...
The reason I say this is, the dems will come out in a few months...when things aren't already fixed, and accuse Bush of putting a "rosy" picture on the hurricane damage...blech!
And I agree with you...I don't think it is known, or will be known for a while---how this impacts all of us.
It won't be anytime until people will have forgotten that the President said that it was going to take a long time, just like Iraq.
