Oh yeah - both Obama and Biden were either co-sponsors of, voted for or drafted Katrina relief or oversight bills. Biden was the sponsor of Senate amendment 1661, which was to provide emergency funding to victims of Katrina. The vote failed 41-56, with McCain voting against it.

If you’ve ever heard the real history of St. Patrick’s day you are left with the nagging question: What do sh... more
The The New Rules of Marketing and PR by David Meerman Scott
I’d definitely recommend this and I bought it for a few other people too. Marketing and public relations is vastly different on the Web than in mainstream media.
