Bush to return to Washington early

President cuts vacation short to monitor hurricane relief efforts

CORONADO, California (AP) -- President Bush will cut short his vacation to return to Washington on Wednesday, two days earlier than planned, to help monitor federal efforts to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina, the White House said Tuesday.

"We have got a lot of work to do," Bush said, referring to the damage wrought by the hurricane along Gulf Coast areas.

The president had been scheduled to return to the nation's capital on Friday, after spending more than four weeks operating from his ranch in Central Texas. But after receiving a briefing early Tuesday on the devastation Katrina unleashed, the president decided that he needed to be in Washington to personally oversee the federal effort, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

...

how was he "operating" from his ranch ? by biking and running away from Sheehan ? how is going to "personally" oversee the fed. effort ?

1. The focus of his concern
became eminent when they told him oil rigs are in danger!

2. They kept telling us he could do everything from the ranch that
he can do in the WH and he really wasn't on vacation.

What's a girl to believe ?

4. To paraphrase Randi Phodes:
"So he's ending his vacation, that wasn't really a vacation, to go back to work, even though he was on a working vacation to begin with?"

My head just spun off.

7. I guess they sped up the "renovations" so
The stretch pants president could get back. Rather, we get to see another pathetic cover story cast aside.
