Clinton Pushes for New Orleans

Senator Hillary Clinton was the commencement speaker at Dillard University today and said that it was an obligation for the United States to restore New Orleans to its former glory. Dillad University was one of thse schools that was heavily hit by Hurrican Katrina. The damages estimated around $400 million and the school is still recovering. Clinton proposed having a "recovery manager" who would report directly to the White House in order to see that preperations were being met. With hurricane season only a few months away, many wonder if New Orleans could actually withstand another hurricane of Katrina's calibur. The public was skeptical about how our government had handled the aftermath of Katrina. Some say the government was to slow to react to the disaster, and some say the government isn't even doing much at all.
