NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them."

The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio's "Marketplace" program.

She was part of a group in Houston today at the Astrodome that included her husband and former President Bill Clinton, who were chosen by her son, the current president, to head fundraising efforts for the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were also present.

In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston."

Then she added: "What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this (she chuckles slightly)--this is working very well for them."

23. I think she knows exactly what she is doing

Like her son, she just doesn't give a crap about these people.

29. They think Americans for the most part are beneath them.

To be treated with disdain. Great American Family, the bushes. :puke:

5. She must have cleaned it up. I've heard people remark

that it's a step up for these people....apparently that is what one of the nightly news casts was trying to portray. Ahhh, good to see the media back on the job of Bush protecting. After all, there's Bush's agenda yet to push through. So little time. So many people yet to rape and pillage.

17. You KNOW Chimp will really step in it defending her over this one

It's indefensible, but that family is so petty, vengeful and insular, that he'll be compelled to address the heat this generates.

[Bluebear]

20. And Poppy will warn people not to criticize her.

It will be "beyond the pale" to say anything about the Queen Mother.

35. "Sure, mom and dad and sis died, but I got to see the Astrodome:

oh, this has worked out so well for me." Yeah, I believe that psycho Dubya's psycho mother really thinks that people react that way. That may be because she knows that she and her son would react that way.
