"Right now our priorities are on saving lives," George W. Bush.
That's what he said. Apparently Bush is ending his vacation early and heading back to Washington tomorrow, to "monitor the federal, state, and local" efforts underway in Katrina's aftermath.
Perhaps Bush is getting the message that he still needs to pay attention to his citizens' needs, even though he's not up for re-election.
I can't help being reminded of his running off to Florida handing out bottles of water last fall.
The illusion of concern is kicking in, I guess.
Now watch for the disaster spin.
Even so, I hope it helps. Those people will need lots of support, aid, rescue efforts, funds, food, clothing, supplies, AND attention.
