George W. Bush returns to New Orleans for Katrina anniversary

Former president George W. Bush has returned to New Orleans — the scene of one of his presidency's lowest points — on the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina to tout the region's recovery from the country's costliest natural disaster.

He has chosen to deliver remarks at Warren Easton Charter High School, the same school he visited on the first anniversary of the catastrophic storm. He is accompanied by his wife, Laura, whose library foundation helped rebuild what is the oldest public school in New Orleans.
