Bush has his game face on, this is not politics to him, he is all about results. Nagin got his this AM when he ceded control to the military by removing the NO police and and firemen. Blanco will be next.

Where did you get that info? Can you provide the link?

I saw a press conference at 11 AM with he NOPD and the spokesperson said they would be having a press conference each morning at 11.

Didn't sound to me like any power had been ceded?

"Bush has his game face on....he's all about results"

exactly! And he will let them gobble up all the credit for the successful efforts too. This morning I saw the Mayor of NO saying "WE got xxx numbers of people out of NO yesterday. WE have made progress on fixing the breach in the levie"

With exception to the good local people, the Mayor of NO is trying to shove aside the work of the guard, the military & especially the army corps of engineers and pretend that HE is starting to get things done.

"There's no end to the good you can do, if you don't care who gets the credit" the creed of Ronald Reagan and now George W. Bush

Absolutely correct. This situation is far to serious to leave idiots like Nagin and Blanco to handle. Move aside, children, the adults are now in charge.

Did anyone happen to see Senator Mary (I'm going to punch the President) Landreu there? She may have been, but I didn't spot her.

Exactly. Bush to locals: Lead, follow, or get the (insert family friendly term here) out of the way.

When the President is on a mission, the last thing you want to do is get in his way. Let's hear it for results oriented leadership.
