Obama pledges to help Louisiana 'even after the cameras leave'

President Obama predicted Tuesday that "resilient" Louisianans would rebuild their flood-ravaged communities with the help of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other help from around the country, "even after the TV cameras leave."

"I know how resilient the people of Louisiana are and that you will build again, and what I've seen today proves it," he said.

During his brief remarks after touring the state's battered capital, Baton Rouge, Obama also gave credit to FEMA Director Craig Fugate, who is "someone I can't brag about enough, one of the best hires I made as president."
