Quote of the Day: If you want to help, support the Red Cross or the Salvation Army or your church or the United Way. Houston, for example, is going to kick off a United Way campaign, and that money is going to help with the costs of the displaced persons inside of Houston. So please give cash money to organizations that are directly involved in helping save lives -- save the life who had been affected by Hurricane Katrina.

We have spent time talking about how we can make sure we continue progress, make sure people get -- not only continue to get the affection and love of people in the private sector, but also to make sure that the government gets people their Social Security checks, or their veteran's benefits checks, the checks that -- unemployment checks. And we'll do that, we'll do that.

Out of the darkness will come some light, and the light I saw yesterday at the program in Baton Rouge with T.D. Jakes was so apparent to me. And it's based upon the fact we've got citizens who are willing to take time to love somebody like they would like to be loved themselves, welcome a stranger in their midst. And for those of you who have done that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're a part of the strength of this country. You're what makes America a great place.

In the meantime, we'll continue to work together to do our duty and to help our citizens who hurt, and help this great part of the country rebuild.

God bless.

With representatives from Volunteer Organizations, meeting to discuss hurricane relief......

"A Day in the Life of President Bush"

One way you can tell that we don't live in a Banana Republic is that the title of the thread isn't "A Day in the Bush with the President for Life." Of course, were Clinton still President ... I think I won't go there :-)

I keep thinking about the fact that the President been saying these things since the 2000 campaign. He was talking about private donations, voluteer efforts and individual civic service responsibilities well before 911. I'm not sure I remember another politician ever doing that before.

Great leaders were made for times like these, and we are so very blessed to have President Bush.

Thanks, Ohio! I appreciate your work. I especially like the pictures of GWB and Laura paying their respects to Justice Rehnquist.

[SeaBiscuit]

Thank you. God Bless the President, I don't believe any other President in history has had such horrendous events happen during their administration. Just 9 months into GWB,s first term America was attacked by terrrorists which took down the WTC and destroyed part of the Pentagon, and now 9 months into his 2nd term the Nation is hit with the biggest natural disaster ever..which practically destroyed NO. GWB has been a tower of strength through both horrible events..

Let the word go out my FRiends: we need Karen Hughes and Ari Fleischer out front and center, providing the TRUTH, NO-NONSENSE common sense and sanity ... NOW!
