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 which is sort of
scary 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--this (she
chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."

1. Wasn't Texas where a black man was dragged to death?

Yeah--I'd want to move there...

2. Ugh, can't believe I forgot

that and it just makes the remarks so much worse. I don't see how any TRULY compassionate person could dismiss them, especially coming from the first mom.

3. The Freeps are falling all over themselves w/her visit..

how wonderful, blah, how compassionate, blah, blah...

Personally, I've always seen her as exactly what she is, the person that gave birth to the spawn of the devil. So what does that make her?

:evilgrin:

4. She must've been one of those that said slavery was beneficial to blacks

We talked about this in another post.

Now I know the type of person who would say such a thing.

What a bitch! Yeah Barbara, it's really fucking working out for them.

"Oh - the hurricane that wiped out their entire lives, and separated thousands of families - that's going real well for them."

5. She's geting skewered for the last paragraph

But what do you expect from an octogenarian probably borderline senile woman....
