3. Where do you think Bobby dear is getting the money for this???

AND is he proud of the fact that HIS STINKING PARTY removed a large portion of the funding for the levee repair in and around New Orleans several years ago????? Think about it Bobby, you've been played by your own... and you don't even know it.

Massive project breaks ground for the Lake Borgne Inner Harbor Navigation Canal surge barrier project

Defense of the Greater New Orleans most vulnerable area from storm surge began recently with the groundbreaking of the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) Lake Borgne Surge Barrier Project.

The IHNC Surge Barrier Project is a significant piece of the Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) because it will block the powerful Gulf of Mexico storm surge from entering the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW).

When completed in 2011, the $700 million surge barrier will extend from the Michoud Canal floodwall along the GIWW to the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) levee just south of the Bayou Bienvenue control structure. It will reduce the hurricane and storm surge risk faced by the people in the surrounding communities of St. Bernard, New Orleans East, Ninth Ward, and Gentilly to a 1 percent chance in any given year.

"When we see this surge barrier, we will know that it is a stance we've taken for the betterment of the people in New Orleans," said Army Corps of Engineers Commander, Lt. Gen. Robert Van Antwerp.
