Friday August 15, 2008, 11:44 AMPresident Bush will visit New Orleans and the Mississippi Coast on Wednesday to check out the recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
The White House said today that Bush is expected to deliver an afternoon speech in New Orleans, then travel to the Mississippi Coast for dinner with community leaders.
Quite a cynical reaction from New Orleans on the Times-Picayune website.

You can't fix stupid
"In Louisiana, 17 percent of the respondents said they would not evacuate if the government said they had to because another major hurricane was headed toward the state.
And 15 percent said they believe they would be safer if they stayed in their homes rather than evacuate.
“This is the No. 1 reason people give for not evacuating,” Buhr said of people believing their homes are safe. “If Hurricane Katrina didn’t change that view, it’s pretty discouraging.”
Another 19 percent said if they had to evacuate, they would need help, but 41 percent of those said they had not yet lined up anyone to help them."
