Bush listens to the Washington Post

(not as much as he should though) Yesterday's Post contained an editorial titled "New Orleans's Top Priority", where President Bush was reminded that not adequately funding the restoration of the levee system is not an acceptible option:
The president must make a statement committing his administration to reasonable, moderate but genuine hurricane protection for New Orleans. Not to do so soon is tantamount to admitting that New Orleans will not be rebuilt.
Well, whattya know?
[ABC News] Dec. 15, 2005 — President Bush today requested an additional $1.5 billion in funding to help rebuild the levee system in New Orleans.
