Evacuee Family on Federal Response

"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government, and to the extent the federal government didn't do its job right, I take full responsibility," he said.

Is that admission any consolation for the victims? Some say no. We spoke with one New Orleans family. They lost everything to Katrina and are now staying in Thunderbolt.

The Jones family says, although admitting there was a problem is a good sign, it doesn't make up for the hundreds of lives lost and the thousands of lives destroyed.

"What do I think about him saying that?" asked evacuee Sharonda Jones. "Not much."

President Bush admits mistakes were made, but families like the Joneses say that's just not enough.
