The real question is do they rebuild all the roads, electrical, housing, govt buildings, grocery stores and on and on. If they do rebuild, how can they justify a complete rebuild to only restore something that could be leveled again because its 10ft below sea level?
Is Bush still on vacation? You can sure tell we are not in the midst of a close election.

The Constitution forbids the government from rebuilding this city. The state can rebuild the city, that is their choice, if they have the money.
The oil rigs will be back online quickly, that is how private industry works. Putting a possible reconstruction in the hands of the federal govt will result in an other Massachusetts style "Big Dig" (google it for those who do not know).
