Fahd died at approximately 2:30 a.m. EDT, a senior Saudi official in Washington told The Associated Press. President Bush was alerted within minutes of Fahd's death, the official said on condition of anonymity. The king's funeral was to be held Tuesday evening, he said.

President Bush was informed of the death in the morning when he arrived at the Oval Office, according to spokesman Scott McClellan. The president reportedly called Abdullah to express condolences and congratulations on his accession.

4. And also...
When the hurricanes hit Florida, he made sure they got plenty of assistance and even went down there to hand out bottled water.

Louisiana and Mississippi's big mistake was not having a Bush brother for a governor as well as getting hit when there was no presidential election coming up that Bush needed a photo-op for. So it's really their own fault for not being pro-active (sarcasm)
