WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: WLOX's Doug Walker Talks With President Bush About Mississippi's Recovery: "Doug Walker: There's a feeling, a growing feeling, of discontent in Mississippi that the lion's share of the attention has been going to New Orleans - As is evident today on the front page of USA Today with only one mention of Mississippi. Is Mississippi being forgotten by the government and the nation?
President Bush: I don't know, I can't speak for a factor of the nation, you know the people that print the news. But I can tell you about the government, and the answer is absolutely, 'No.' This government is focused equally on Mississippi as it is on Louisiana. And one reason why we, of course, have remained focused is you got a governor who's got a lot of influence up here, and senators who've got influence up here. And so our efforts are equal in trying to help people recover. And I've got to applaud Mississippi because they have developed a plan, which was approved quickly, that will enable money to get out the door to helping individual homeowners rebuild."
