Spike Lee om to forskellige præsidenters forskellige holdning til katastrofen:
In 1965 with Hurricane Betsy, then President Lyndon B. Johnson flew to New Orleans, and went to the Lower Ninth Ward. He shined a flashlight in his face in the dark and said, I’m Lyndon B. Johnson, I’m the President of the United States and we care about you. George Bush did not feel he had to do that.
