Oh I agree. He also made some brief comments to the press at the White House before he left for the hurricane areas. I didn't see this, but some Freepers were complaining that it was too short, that he could've said more.
Someone pointed out that that would've been Clinton's response, to give a 20 minute "I feel your pain" speech, which would've accomplished nothing. Thanks goodness that W is the opposite of Clinton--in every way :) He's an action president, not a talking president.
