President Bush received updates on Hurricane Ike throughout the day.
Deputy Press Secretary Tony Fratto: He's very comfortable that Texas emergency management authorities are doing everything they can. They have a very strong team down in Texas for dealing with the hurricanes. Obviously our thoughts and prayers are with the residents in the affected areas. The President encourages all the residents of Texas to listen to the guidance they're getting from their local emergency management authorities. And if they're getting direction to evacuate, to do it quickly; but just to pay very close mind to their personal safety and listen to the guidance of local emergency management officials.The President will continue to receive updates during the day and when he returns back in Washington today keep as close as possible to events in Texas and -- obviously a part of the country you know that he knows very well.

Arriving at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, President Bush greeted military personnel and made a statement about the approaching hurricane. (Transcript)
I am deeply concerned about Hurricane Ike. It is a major storm headed toward a large population soon. I was on the phone this morning with Secretary Chertoff and Director Paulison of FEMA. I spoke to my friend, Governor Perry, yesterday. The state of Texas is preparing for this emergency. I suspect there's going to be some Texans headed for Oklahoma. And I know that they're going to find good people up here who want to help them.
First Lady Laura Bush spoke at the Service Nation Summit in New York City today. . (Transcript)

Can't do a little, 'cause you can't do enough...
Great dose Jonny. Thanks.
'Night!
I would make all my little friends in the neighborhood play Witchie Poo. Really all we would do is put our arms out like we were flying and cackle.
I saw someplace that Nick at Nite is going to put The Banana Splits back on, the original shows, not a remake. My dad and I used to watch the reruns when I was little.
Now, if they would only put Laugh-In on again.
Thank you both :) I appreciate it.
‘Nite, #3!
Evenin,see,I saw!
:)
See you later! Have a great weekend! :-D
I’m about ready to fall asleep face down on my laptop, too.
You (and everyone!!) have a great weekend!! :-)
Wow, a Dem said that? I guess not all of them are bad
He and his wife are both Hilary supporters who will not vote for Obummer. They aren’t ready to vote for McCain but they are both ticked at OB.

Fortunately no one was injured in the tunnel they had to evacuate people
I think there may be a lot of people like your friends. I live in the Chicago area and work with lots of lifelong dems. One sits behind me and the other next to me. They blame everything on President Bush (my hand to God, the guy next to me blamed having to wait in line at the post office on him and he wasn’t joking).
Neither of them want to vote for Obama. The guy behind me said may just stay home on election day. The other one said he’s not sure what he’s going to do, but he doesn’t think he can vote for Obama.
Good morning! I would love to see the Banana Splits and Laugh-In! Remember Edith Ann? I also miss seeing Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins. “We’ll stay here in the relative safety of the blind while my assistant, Jim Fowler, tries to circumcise a water buffalo...”
The Hilary crowd are really mad. They think they got hosed by the Super delagates and Obummer was nasty to her. I told them he was Selected not Elected and they agreed.
