Words of Encouragement

The Times Picayune

This editorial is about President Bush deciding to hold the North American Leaders Summit in New Orleans. This was an opportunity for the world to focus on the New Orleans community and its recovery. President Bush used this opportunity to call attention to the importance of the work being done in the city. The author then talks about President Bush right after hurricane Katrina in Jackson Square promising the citizens that the government would stay as long as it took. The author also says that President Bush holding the summit in New Orleans is not exactly what he meant by the government staying in the city, but also shows a piece of the city’s recovery at the same time. This article was a little short and did not have too much information. I think the author could have elaborated a little more on President Bush and his role in the recovery efforts and what the summit would bring to the city.
