THIS IS THE MESSAGE THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO GIVE THE COUNTRY

The number one priority of Congress right now is to figure out why it took so long for food, water, and medical attention to get into New Orleans, and why it took so long for people to get out. We need to figure out how this happened so we can make sure that it doesn't happen again.

This is not a partisan issue, this is about national security, this is about the safety of all Americans. If the Republicans turn this into a partisan issue, in 2006 the major campaign issue in every district in the country will be: why Republicans think the response to Katrina was fine.

The budget for homeland security this year is 28 billion and 900 million dollars. Katrina gave us a two day warning. A terrorist wouldn't. We need to know what went wrong here.


Honestly, this is not the only number one priority. The other one is dealing with the vast scope of catastrophic problems still unfolding in the Gulf.

And oh yeah, the other Gulf.

Court appointments can wait.
