"President giving speech far more along the lines of that which his critics would have preferred "

Oh, not according to CNN.!!
I am watching CNN International from here in Slovakia.
It is all I can get here.
The CNN InfoB**** lit into it after the president completed
his talk, then some big wheel political correspondent
moaned about how stupid it was for Bush to be there, and it was nothing but a political photo-op for a few Republican govs.
CNN MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE !!!

Oh, but they said the president should have been there sooner on camera! Does everyone now see it is FOOLOSHNESS to pander to what the MSM wants? The fact the MSM says he should be out front on camera doesn't make it so, but conservatives fell for the damn line and demanded he show his face. he does, and here CNN bashes him for doing what they said they wanted.

It's time conservatives grew up.

"I am watching CNN International from here in Slovakia."

My condolences! And why doesn't Fox have a "Fox International"? They should.

The transcript of his remarks in Mobile should be up the FEMA and White House sites by later this afternoon...or rather tomorrow morning your time ;-) The WH site usually includes a Real Player clip.

"moaned about how stupid it was for Bush to be there, and it was nothing but a political photo-op for a few Republican govs."

Ironically, that's exactly what I told the "he should be at the convention hall" types would happen. Next he'll be hiding for not showing up at the convention hall and for landing at a strip in a NO suburb instead of right downtown.
