Bush administration fulfills few promises
By MATT CRENSON
The Associated Press

Nearly half of New Orleans was still under water when President Bush stood in the Crescent City’s historic Jackson Square and swore he would “do what it takes” to rebuild the communities and lives laid to waste two weeks before by Hurricane Katrina.

“Our goal is to get the work done quickly,” the president said.

Bush promised to spend federal money wisely and accountably. And he vowed to address the poverty exposed by the government’s inadequate Katrina response “with bold action.”

A year after the storm, the federal government has proven slow and unreliable in keeping those promises.

“This is not something that is going to be able to be accomplished in 365 days,” White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. “The president has set the federal government on the course to fulfill its obligations.”
