...
President Bush will cut short his vacation to return to Washington on Wednesday, two days earlier than planned, to help monitor federal efforts to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina
...
''We have got a lot of work to do,'' Bush said
...
after receiving a briefing early Tuesday on the devastation Katrina unleashed, the president decided that he needed to be in Washington to personally oversee the federal effort

Is AP any better than Talon news?

1. You mean he couldn't monitor it from Crawford?

After all, they've spent the month telling us that this was a working vacation, and that he could run the country from there.

2. I'm sure everything will go much smoother now that Bush is "monitoring"

:eyes:

3. A day late and a dollar short, imo

Sorry, but he had to go yuck it up with McCain first.

4. You mean he's gonna watch it on a screen?

7. I think what they mean is he is going to monitor the amount of $$ spent

on the poor vs the amount of $$ spent for the oil companies 'devistated' by Katrina. That is what they mean, you silly people. :silly:

8. Honestly? This is the last thing

I love the 'royal we' thing he has going.

9. How about this..

He can ride is bike around and look at the situation.

10. ...and as Randi just pointed out

last week he was officially "not" on vacation. The west wing was being renovated. I guess he's just work around the paint cans and scaffolds.
