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 would like everyone to get out because it's a health risk. Mosquitoes that are biting dead people are starting to fly, |
I would like for everybody to get out because it's a health risk, ... There are toxins in the water. There are gas leaks where we may have explosions. We're fighting at least four fires right now, and we don't have running water. It is not safe. |
I would like to say, write e-mails, send faxes, send letters to your congressmen, to your senators, and tell them 'Let's not delay help anymore,' |
I would take that bet again. |
I'd love to have another solution for our citizens, ... I'm not a big gaming person. I'm not a big gambler. |
