water escapes the city in the case of a flood. i don't think we need to spend too much time second-guessing that. i think the real verdict this will be known over time. because what really has to happen here now, there's all kinds of talk about how we are going to coordinate, supply everything we need. but history has shown that for these efforts become controversial. that's where they can fall down. in terms of recovery where people are starting to claim, i didn't get my loan in time, i didn't get my reconstruction money in time, the bureaucracy held up this, that, the other thing. furthermore, we have the relocation issue. 30,000 people, at last check, living in shelters. how long will it be till they can get back to their homes? i'm not saying all that is going to go wrong. i'm praying it's going to go right. i'm just saying those are the issues where the controversy will start to turn. >> bret: speaking of money, the president was asked about funding for recovery efforts for texas.
