Bush Dances at Katrina Anniversary Event in New Orleans 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
And as New Orleans marked the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina this
weekend, former President George W. Bush returned to the city, prompting
protests over his delayed response to the disaster at the time. One
protester held a sign with a well-known photograph of Bush, days after
Katrina, looking out of an airplane window at the destroyed city. The
sign's caption read, "You're early – come back in a week." As Bush
attended a memorial event Friday at New Orleans' Warren Easton Charter
High School, protesters outside chanted, "He let New Orleans drown."
Inside the school, footage showed Bush dancing to a marching band.
