Bush hires a real President to assist in New Orleans disaster.

[mzmolly]

Bush asked his father and (President) Clinton to lead the fund-raising campaign after their successful similar efforts in the wake of the Asian tsunami that hit last December. He made the request of them Wednesday and the three planned a Thursday afternoon meeting in the Oval Office.

McClellan said that Bush trusted the view of administration officials that the response effort so far is "going well." :eyes: well?

But, he added, "The people on the ground who needed help yesterday, he certainly understands their frustration."

Bush urged a crackdown on looting and crime that has spread throughout New Orleans.

An aside: people are "looting" shoes so they don't cut their feet while wading through contaminated flood water Mr. Bush - they are taking food and water so they don't die - they are "stealing" TV's/radios in hopes of finding a means of electricity to find out what the H is going on in terms of help.

On edit I hope Clinton will take this time to somehow address Bush's gutting of FEMA and other federal aid?

1. Stealing TVs and radios

and computers etc....

they will use that for "bartering" for food or other necessities later on.....no food, so they take what they can get for trading for survival later...

2. Exactly, and who's thinking rationally at a time like this? These people

are not thinking about making a buck, they want to live for gawd sakes!

8. Well I give Bush credit for noting that he needs a leader in this case.

Perhaps the freeps should be more concerned with Bush gutting FEMA?

Interestingly enough FR is down now. ;)

5. If Clinton makes an address to the nation,
