glass half full

Yesterday I bemoaned Bush's small mention of the Gulf Coast in the State of the Union address. Today, the Times-Pic is lauding it.

I admit that I didn't realize the location for the North American Leaders' Summit this spring had not yet been announced. So to tell the world that New Orleans will host it during his address is a very cool thing.

I still stand by my statement that his assurances for the redevelopment of the Gulf are weak, however. Look at his rhetoric for economic stimulus or for international relations, and compare that to what he said about recovery in the Gulf.
