There won't be enough construction workers to rebuild Houston
Good time to open a Texas division...
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Do they really have a record of what a Senator from Illinois was doing during Katrina?
He was visiting refugees in Louisiana and Texas.

Why wouldn't there be a record? As Vipes noted, Obama was actually down in Texas and Louisiana meeting people and also criticising the federal government response. The power of archived news articles.

You won't have quite as many issues with unions down there.

I don't know. I guess I doubted the current senators from Illinois are attracting much media attention around this flood.

We actually have plenty of unions down here. They just do not have much official support but they are effective where labor shortages give them the ability to be.

Yeah but what they were doing would be a matter of public record so you'd just have to look up what was being said about them then.  Also, Obama was ambitious from the get.

Obama already had an aura around him even in 2005.

Here's a speech he gave about Katrina at the time (where he mentions visiting with survivors in Houston):

Well in any case he wasn't taking a long weekend and golfing. Though if he did that would probably be fine unless the Senate was in session.

I know. It all started with the 2004 Democratic Convention. He was just some state senator in Illinois until that day.

that's the good side.  on the bad side, few of my guys can speak english.  The last time, we had to bond with 2 other companies to execute the work. :(

Not as as far as I know.  They can barely write their name in French...

I can write my name in French!  Pretty sure it's spelled the same :D
