Bush Cancels Vacation to focus on relief.
WASHINGTON - Medical disaster assistance teams from across the country were deployed to the area devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The Red Cross sent in 185 emergency vehicles to provide meals. And President Bush cut short his vacation Tuesday to return to Washington to focus on the storm damage.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the president will chair a meeting Wednesday of a White House task force set up to coordinate the federal response and relief effort.

"We have a lot of work to do," the president said of the storm FEMA director Michael Brown has termed catastrophic.

5. Thanks for the welcome

and usually I am a bit more restrained (and peaceful) but this whole thing shows how OUT OF TOUCH that man is. Hmm... let's see, is three days after the event early enough to show "conservative compassion" without looking like I might actually give a damn?

Only thing he's abandoned are his reponsibilities, damnit.

Why all these vacations? Who does he think he is, King George?

What a lazy selfish sociopathic brat.
