Because Carvell owns land there and knows what he is talking about.
Bush has DIRECTLY denied funds that new Orlereans has needed and been asking for for a long time.

In early 2004, as the cost of the conflict in Iraq soared, President Bush proposed spending less than 20 percent of what the Corps said was needed for Lake Pontchartrain, according to a Feb. 16, 2004, article, in New Orleans CityBusiness.
On June 8, 2004, Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana; told the Times-Picayune: "It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose that's the price we pay. Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us."

Anyone who owns land there and knows about this situation, knows Bush has been denying these funds for YEARS.
Carvell knows this.
