Actually, the situation in PR reminds me a lot of the situation in Katrina in some respects. Namely, they are having a hard time getting to some of the places hit because infrastructure is so damaged.

I tended to take the Bush Admin's word for the situation back in 2005. And despite the kindergarten description of PR's location by the POTUS, I tend to take their word concerning relief efforts there.

That said, over the years the U.S. has really crapped on a lot of "citizens" who have to live in these commonwealths we have created. A person from Haiti who successfully applies for citizenship is better off than the people in PR who are ostensibly "citizens".
