I just watched the last quarter of Spike Lee’s documentary on Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
What I want to see in these upcoming elections is a politician who goes to New Orleans and refuses to campaign, and instead puts their money where their mouth is and gets things fixed. Say, for example, a presidential candidate who instead of hanging out in Iowa tells us the country, “as a matter of principle, I’m staying right here until everyone who needs a FEMA trailer has one, and I’ll be on the phone personally to make sure they get one.”
I’d like to think that the voting public would reward such a person.
