"We will do what must be done to help," the president said. He repeatedly praised volunteers stockpiling sandbags and building levees, saying "their service isn't just inspirational—it's integral to our response."
Volunteers are pouring into the area and doing a great job. President Obama and his administration are not doing anything of significance yet.

If this does turn into a large scale disaster, it will be an interesting test. Both Dems and Repubs seem to be claiming Katrina as some sort of victory. They are both wrong. It was a failure of the republican administration, and a failure of government's ability to solve problems. If Obama responds well, it will be a point for big government in the minds of many. This is the question of our day, and will be answered within 4-8 years.
