A cynic might argue that these promises from the Bush Administration will end up being just as empty as his performance after Katrina — that it’s all about political appearances, and nothing will actually get done.
But in this case, political appearances would actually argue in favor of a positive and vigorous federal intervention: They need the place in good shape for the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
No reason to be cynical at all.
