We've got a lot of rebuilding to do. First, we're going to save lives and stabilize the situation. And then we're going to help these communities rebuild. The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch. (Laughter.)

Again, I want to thank you all for -- and, Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job. The FEMA Director is working 24 -- (applause) -- they're working 24 hours a day.

From the Whitehouse.gov news release 9/2

It doesnt seem that ol' Brownie has done such a heck of a job to me. He may be putting in clock hours, working hard at that, lots of press conferences, but not actually leading very competently. Yes its a tough gig, but it's his gig. I have little sympathy, far less praise.

The active military leadership that arrived finally today 9/3 seem to be a "heck" of a lot more effectively coordinating info, security, and aid. They get my applause.
