Bush brothers hand out ice, hope in devastated area of Florida

[Chi]

I thought a flashback of pre-election disaster relief attention, given to Florida, would make a poignant contrast to New Orleans.

These pictures were taken only 3 days after the hurricane.

President George W. Bush (center) and his brother Gov. Jeb Bush (left) hand out water and ice to motorists in a drive-thru relief operation set up by the American Red Cross at Longwood Stadium in Fort Pierce, Fla. Sept. 8. About 120 miles north of Miami, the coastal city was hit hard when Hurricane Frances tore through Sept. 5. Thousands are still without power in Florida.

3. Uhnnn, he's not doing it now either

The point was to contrast LAST year, with this year. That was Florida. You know, his brother's state. Then there was a good emergency response, even though they got hit four times, and the pResident could be on the ground within three days. Three days after Katrina, he was still on vacation.
