Bush Back to D.C. to Help Relief Efforts

By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer 12 minutes ago

WACO, Texas -
President Bush held a video conference about Hurricane Katrina with
his top advisers from his Texas ranch Wednesday and then flew over the
disaster area en route back to the White House to oversee federal
relief efforts.


Bush, who may visit the area later in the week, cut short his working
vacation in Texas by two days — even though aides have long contended
that his duties are uninterrupted when he spends time at his ranch in
nearby Crawford, which has White House-level communications
capability.

Vice President
Dick Cheney participated in the video conference from Wyoming, and
White House chief of staff Andy Card was on line from Maine. Other top
officials participated from Washington.

On his way back to Washington, the president's plane, Air Force One,
descended to an altitude of about 5,000 feet to allow Bush to view
some of the worst hurricane damage. White House spokesman Scott
McClellan told reporters that Bush was examining the destruction below
from the front left side windows of the plane.

"This is a major catastrophe," McClellan had said earlier. "We are
certainly going to do everything from the standpoint of the federal
government to make sure the needs are met. This is a time when all
Americans need to come together and do all we can to support those in
the Gulf state region."

McClellan said the government was declaring the hurricane an "incident
of national significance," a designation that triggers a recently
developed national emergency plan for the first time and will allow
better coordination among government agencies. McClellan said he
expects the administration will request a supplemental appropriation
to pay for disaster relief and recovery efforts.

Under the national response plan, which was finalized in January, the
federal government intervenes only when emergencies exceed what state
and local capabilities can handle. Though state and local officials
have not formally declared that they can no longer manage the disaster
on their own, that is the case, said
Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke.

The president decided he should be in the nation's capital given the
magnitude of destruction and death caused by Katrina, one of the most
severe storms to ever hit the United States.

Katrina left thousands homeless in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama,
and many more without electricity or fresh drinking water. The storm
also caused the closure of oil platforms and pipelines in the Gulf
Coast. Energy Secretary
Samuel Bodman said Wednesday the administration will release from the
federal petroleum reserves to help refiners affected by the hurricane.

The president, upon his return to Washington, planned to chair a
meeting of a White House task force set up to coordinate the federal
efforts to assist hurricane victims across more than a dozen agencies.

Bush was expected to visit the ravaged region by week's end, but
details on that trip were in flux as the White House worked to make
sure a presidential tour would not disrupt the relief and response
efforts.

"These are trying times for the people of these communities. We know
that many are anxious to return to their homes. It's not possible at
this moment," the president said Tuesday during a speech in Coronado,
Calif. "Right now our priority is on saving lives, and we are still in
the midst of search and rescue operations."

"A Democratic shift to the right risks inflaming the party's Angry
Left base, while a shift to the left would surely cost the party
whatever support it has left from normal people."

Dear Richard:





This week millions of Americans fled Hurricane Katrina. Across the
South families abandoned their homes and businesses, not knowing what
would be there when they returned.

Many stayed behind and suffered devastating loss and injuries -- nearly
a hundred have died that we know of, and hundreds of thousands need our
help.

America is at its best when we realize that we are one community --
that we're all in this together. That means that each one of us has the
responsibility to do what we can to help the relief effort.

The Red Cross is a great place to start:

They are already moving people and resources into the region to help.
Donations will provide clean water, food, and shelter for disaster
victims. The Red Cross web site also has important information for
victims and their relatives across the country.

Many local Red Cross chapters are organizing volunteers to travel to
affected areas -- doctors and nurses to provide medical care, workers
to build shelters, first responders to assist in rescue operations.

You can find your local chapter here to learn what you can do:

We are still learning the full story of the devastation, but there is
no time to wait. Please do something now.

Thank you.

"I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for," former Vermont

quotes picked up by the New York Daily News.

In other words... "I hate Republicans but I'll put out a phony "we are
one community" message when it is politically expedient for me to do
so."

I'm willing to bet my grandfather is still voting at 80th and Union in
Chicago. He's been deceased since 1961 . . . .

And probably voted for LBJ in '64 . . . .

Even Cindy She-Kook is blaming Katrina on Bush.

But stop and think about this:

When is the last time you knew the postal service to have to alter this much
mail delivery? In effect, all of the old West Florida has lost any
communication with the outside world, including the POSTAL SERVICE. I'm
sure the Postal Service is working to get mail trucks moving in and out, but
there are no ways into or out of the New Orleans area for regular commercial
traffic. We didn't even see the City of New Orleans train go south from
Chicago. (It goes right by my sister's house in the evening, if it's
running.)
