One Year Later: The Real State of New Orleans

From ThinkProgress

President Bush may be giving speeches about how the federal government is standing with the people of the Gulf Coast, but as ThinkProgress points out, the facts speak for themselves:

UPDATE: Watch MSNBC footage of Katrina’s devastation.
