Bush's photo-op delayed supplies!

"Thousands of people stranded in two swamped parishes south of New Orleans are just as desperate for supplies as those trapped in the city but can’t get the attention of federal disaster relief officials, their congressman said Friday.

And to make matters worse, says Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-La., he was unable to deliver that message to President Bush during his visit to New Orleans because the president’s security detail couldn’t clear him to board Air Force One.

After waiting 90 minutes Friday while a U.S. marshal using a satellite phone repeatedly tried, and failed, to contact Bush’s plane – located just 300 yards away at New Orleans’ Armstrong airport – a disgusted Melancon left.

In St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes, just south of New Orleans, victims of the hurricane are still waiting for food and water and for buses to escape the floodwaters, Melancon said. And for the entire time Bush was in the state, the congressman said, a ban on helicopter flights further stalled the delivery of food and supplies."

5. Same thing happened when he visited fire-devastated areas in San Diego

For hours, the single road into a completely-devastated community was blocked because of his security detail, and because of all the press.

Many of the people in that community were elderly, had no insurance, had lived in the destroyed homes for 40 years or more, and help did not initially arrive for five days.

They still needed help and volunteers couldn't get into the area when * was there.
