I know the people of this city have been away from their homes and businesses for three weeks now, ... I'm asking you to just hold on for a little longer. |
I know we had a little disappointment earlier with some signals we're getting from Washington but the international community may be able to fill the gap. |
I love New Orleans. |
I said, 'Mr. President, Madam Governor, you two have to get in sync. If you don't get in sync, more people are going to die.' |
I struggle with, 'Are we moving too soon? Are we moving too slow?' ... You guys are pushing me in an area I don't want to go. I don't want to lose another person. |
I think Congress and the federal government don't fully understand the risk to this jewel of New Orleans, ... They spend billions on the Everglades and on the Big Dig in Boston ... yet our COASTAL EROSION ISSUES ARE REAL, but we haven't had the corresponding investment. |
I think it was awful, ... I was surprised that it happened frankly. I don't know what the gentleman (Davis) did but whatever he did, he did not ... deserve what I saw on tape ... That kind of behavior is not going to be tolerated. |
I think it's amazing he's making that claim. If he's got that kind of money in the bank, God bless him. We're gonna find out once the campaign reports start being filed. |
I think it's going to send a wonderful message to the world that New Orleans is on the road to recovery. |
I think the federal government, the state government and local government are a lot smarter this time around, |
I think the president for some reason probably did not understand the full magnitude of this catastrophe on the front end, |
I think the president is really focused on the job at hand, and they are really starting to move, ... On almost anything that I want to do now, I get a nearly instantaneous response. |
I think this is kind of a put-up-or-shut-up moment, ... How concerned are you, city of New Orleans, about fixing this problem? . . . Are we going to be entertained by the violent nature of these murders, or are we really going to try to fix it? What's the deal? |
I understand they want to stay in their homes, but I tell you there is a very volatile situation in New Orleans at the moment, |
I understand wanting to stay in their homes, not wanting to give up on New Orleans, |
