Congresswoman Madame Virginia Foxx has a letter in today's Watauga Democrat explaining why she voted both for and against Katrina aid, and in passing she pretty much sends a message to George W. Bush: don't look to me to follow you on this whole rebuilding-New-Orleans-for-poor-blacks thingie you've launched. "I will not support out of control federal spending without proper oversight." At least not when it comes to poor black people. Iraq's another matter altogether.
Apparently, Madame Foxx was unimpressed by El Presidente's sound & light show on Jackson Square in New Orleans last Thursday night. Now you see the lights. Now you don't.
Apparently, the American public wasn't much impressed either. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows that approval of Bush's handling of the Katrina crisis actually fell after the speech. Actually, his approval fell most notably among Republicans. Witness Madame Foxx.
Defying her very own dear leader! But that's what you get, Mr. President, when your base of support has wallets several times bigger than their hearts.
