Today marks the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. This natural disaster, coupled with a staggering failure of the federal emergency management system, cost thousands their lives and many more people to lose everything.Over the weekend, Barack walked through New Orleans and delivered a major speech to address the rebuilding of this great American city and the entire Gulf Region. Barack’s commitment to rebuilding is rooted in a principle that he speaks of often – I am my brother's keeper, and I am my sister's keeper.Here is some video that chronicles Barack's trip to New Orleans over the weekend:Rebuilding this area “is a symbol of what kind of country we are. If we don't get this right, then it tells me that we, as a nation, have forgotten to look out for one another,” Barack said.Our government failed the people of this region once – Barack believes that it can’t happen again. It’s time to rebuild the schools, hospitals, and water and sewer systems and let the Gulf Coast residents return to their normal lives.
