Here is an excerpt:
"[Regarding Hurricane Katrina.]As the fingers get pointed and the blame gets handed out, some will miss the bigger picture that has been exposed by Katrina - the face of poverty. U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said recently on the floor of the Senate, 'I hope we realize that the people of New Orleans weren't just abandoned during the hurricane. They were abandoned long ago - to murder and mayhem in the streets, to substandard schools, to dilapidated housing, to inadequate health care, to a pervasive sense of hopelessness.'"
