PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President Bush, as he readied the federal government for a massive relief effort, on Sunday urged people in the path of Hurricane Katrina to forget anything but their safety and move to higher ground as instructed.
"We cannot stress enough the danger this hurricane poses to Gulf Coast communities," Bush said as the storm roared across the gulf toward New Orleans and other communities. "I urge all citizens to put their own safety and the safety of their families first by moving to safe ground."
With forecasters warning of a category five storm, the president made sure the federal response would not be delayed by already declaring emergencies in Mississippi and Florida just hours after a similar declaration for Louisiana. Such declarations make federal aid available to assist with disaster relief, but they are rarely made before a storm even hits.
Working from his Texas ranch, Bush participated via videoconference in a large meeting of federal, state and local disaster management officials preparing for the storm's onslaught. Separately, he spoke by phone with the governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
The President also spok about Iraq and asked the nation for patience regarding the Iraq War as the Iraqis work toward ratification of their constitution.
THE WEEK AHEAD: The President's schedule is subject to change due to Hurricane Katrina. As of now, his schedule remains as announced. President Bush will stop in Arizona on his way to Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino County, Clifornia on Monday. In both states, GWB will discuss a new Medicare reform program.
On Tuesday, President Bush will deliver a speech at North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego, California. The speech will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Japanese surrender aboard the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945, to end World War II. He is expected to draw comparisons between Japan in 1945 and Iraq in 2005, as the latter works toward achieving a constitutional democracy.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my boss who allowed me to have a flexy day today (Monday) which enabled me to get onto the Dose early enough. ;0)
Nice picture of President Bush! I just love that man!!
I agree wholeheartedly; I think that also applies to PM Blair as well.
The Howard Government now has the majority in the Senate which will be, more or less, rubber stamping a lot of bills going through parliament from now on. Which is kinda scary.
Thank you for the ping, Sara!
Good work, Sara ~ thank you!
One of my favourite photos
I was so impressed with his calm at that time. I knew that God was IN this man just because of his demeanor and behavior during that debacle.....
And I was right.
It is mine, too. They look so relaxed and carefree--and yet just a few months later all he** broke loose! God bless them both.
I think what we are seeing from her now is an opportunity to use his death to further her cause and if it had been her son she would have used someone elses.
I do not believe we are seeing grief here maybe some guilt if as we both suspect they were estranged and probably had been since he became an adult with obviously completely differing views than hers.
It's been around for quite a while. I saw it first on the WH website before the election in November, but I don't know for sure where it came from.
You can tell him that you won a cyber toaster because of him LOL
CRAWFORD ZOT picture.....love it! LOL !
Please, Lord, protect those dear people!
...and everyon was so shocked that he was actually able to handle the situation. What!---they thought he was born in a vacuum instead of into a very politcal family who were very intelligent about what to do in such situations! It made me laugh to see the MSM even at that time trying to portray him as stupid and he just kept outfoxing them! :o)
It's weird isn't it? The UK and Australia have great leaders who are well respected, and rightly so, in the international arena. But they are both a little dodgy on domestic issues.
Hi Oz. A friend has been sending many packages to troops in Iraq. Word has come back that they are elated when they receive her packages. One of the troops is from Australia and she would like to send something special that will be like a touch of home to that soldier. Can you suggest something? Any type of candy or cookies or a food that will keep and travel well to Iraq? Suggestions welcome from anyone else too. Thanks !!
