McCain to Tour Katrina-Damaged New Orleans Neighborhood
On day four of his “Time for Action” tour, John McCain will visit the lower 9th ward of New Orleans and the damage and progress since Hurricane Katrina.
New Orleans is a perfect storm of all the issues McCain says he is out to learn about on his week-long tour. It is a community largely of color and economically challenged with skyrocketing crime. The future of the region is still uncertain as progress to rebuild has not moved as fast as many have hoped.
He also told reporters he was not sure if he would rebuild the lower 9th ward as president.
"That is why we need to go back is to have a conversation about what to do -rebuild it, tear it down, you know, whatever it is,” he said.
