Does McCain, Clinton, Or Even Obama Care?
Via the Times-Picayune’s farewell interview with Recovery Czar Donald Powell’s :
But none of the three U.S. senators still running for president showed much of an interest in working with him, he said. Powell recalled talking with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., a couple of times about recovery issues, but said he spoke with former President Clinton more often because of the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund. Powell said he didn’t recall talking to the presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, nor to Clinton’s Democratic primary opponent, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, although his staff dealt with Obama when he accompanied Lieberman on a tour of New Orleans in early 2007.
Now Powell has been a complete failure so I don’t put a lot of worth behind anything he has to say. But ask yourself can any of you recall McCain (R_AZ), Clinton (D-NY) or Obama (D-IL) saying anything about their plans to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. I didn’t think so. I should also note that George W. Bush has not appointed anybody to replace Powell.
