For everyone:

Bush has been twice to the affected area..how often in the future does he need to go?

Weekly visits to shelters?

I have no idea, something of this magnitude dwarfs some of the previous "homeless via hurricane" situations.

Considering the entourage that he has to have....

and the security clearance that is required of all the people he comes in contact with...

I wouldn't think it would be "helpful" to the ones that are trying to get work done, for Bush to go down there very often.

Of course, I think of things differently than some.

Some people worry about his PR and whether it "looks" better for him to do this or that...

Laura is a good ambassador...and maybe if Lynn Cheney and some others could make some trips...

Alot of these people were homeless before the hurricane.

This disaster has been in the making for decades. Everyone knew it. It's no secret when you live in a town and the dam is higher than the roof of your house. It was an impossible situation. Always has been.

They had a disaster plan. The Mayor is an idiot. He almost got these same people killed last year during Ivan. Had Ivan not bobbled and turned East, we'd be living through this twice. The Mayor and Governor didn't have enough sense to follow the disaster plan or any plan.

That Mayor is a jerk, an idiot, a joke and a democrat. The Governor is no better. They are also liars. If the President hadn't stepped in this time, alot more people would be dead and dying. It's a crying shame.
