Thanks, 4Ever...looks like they're having reports of lots of new fires starting up....

and your opinion is precisely the logic that has lead to NO Republicans in statewide office.

I'd have to agree with medscape WRT the President going to the affected areas. While it may (or may not) be politically prudent to give face time in the area, it would be a logistic nightmare. How many police officers does San Diego or LA have available to support the President's presence.

He should, and probably will make a statement within a day or two, regarding the causes of the fire, but not yet.

I do agree that Arnold should be in the area as well, and I would hope that the media aren't just ignoring him (as they ignored the fires all weekend).

The President has signed the emergency declaration bill and would expect comments about that at anytime.

Can I say how much I HATE the media?

640AM is reporting that the fires in the San Bernardino mountains has gone from bad to worse.

[ArmstedFragg]

Take a look up toward Hidden Trails, you should see a copter too. They're working a flare-up in one of the groves.

I tell you, you've got clout! One compliaint about air and you got it!

[Fitzcarraldo]

This is where Arnold has been. No flames please, I voted for him.

Don't understand why anyone would want to start these fires. We were there when the Anaheim Hills burnt from arson.

Doofus running around saying that he wants the President to sign the bill for emergency delcaration but KFI reporting that the President has already signed the bill -- seems everyone knows but Doofus!

[Conservative4Ever]

that would appear to be the case. Scary huh!
