I think Tom was using the quote for another reason.
And, BTW, I'm not moving. I am REBUILDING.
Long after Nagin is out of office, I can—and will—be part of the NEW New Orleans.

I was born here, live here, rebuiling here, and I am one of the best in the world at what I do.
They and IT (The politics) have managed to try to "keep me down" or get me to move away, but here I sit.
Nagin isn't the problem, and I am part of the solution. First thing I need to do is to give that man some lessons.
