PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President Bush, as he readied the federal government for a massive relief effort, on Sunday urged people in the path of Hurricane Katrina to forget anything but their safety and move to higher ground as instructed.

"We cannot stress enough the danger this hurricane poses to Gulf Coast communities," Bush said as the storm roared across the gulf toward New Orleans and other communities. "I urge all citizens to put their own safety and the safety of their families first by moving to safe ground."

With forecasters warning of a category five storm, the president made sure the federal response would not be delayed by already declaring emergencies in Mississippi and Florida just hours after a similar declaration for Louisiana. Such declarations make federal aid available to assist with disaster relief, but they are rarely made before a storm even hits.

Working from his Texas ranch, Bush participated via videoconference in a large meeting of federal, state and local disaster management officials preparing for the storm's onslaught. Separately, he spoke by phone with the governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

The President also spok about Iraq and asked the nation for patience regarding the Iraq War as the Iraqis work toward ratification of their constitution.

THE WEEK AHEAD: The President's schedule is subject to change due to Hurricane Katrina. As of now, his schedule remains as announced. President Bush will stop in Arizona on his way to Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino County, Clifornia on Monday. In both states, GWB will discuss a new Medicare reform program.

On Tuesday, President Bush will deliver a speech at North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego, California. The speech will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Japanese surrender aboard the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945, to end World War II. He is expected to draw comparisons between Japan in 1945 and Iraq in 2005, as the latter works toward achieving a constitutional democracy.

Being a Conservative I am bound to have issues with Blair and his government I am just thankful that my local MP is Conservative.

We figured she'd be fine. Good Christian colleges work hard to meet ALL your needs coming in, and this one is clearly a winner. We were MEGA impressed with the school, in all respects.

Plus, baby girl is very outgoing, so she'll work to make friends.

She's just SO far away! I cry off and on, but I know from experience that I'll get better. And ANYTHING is better for the emotions than having a child in Baghdad.

Anyway, gotta hit the hay now. Yesterday was our Anniversary and my birthday, so I'm a little short on sleep. :)

Good night, all!

Been watching people standing in line at the Superdome they estimate 20,000 amazing also seen footage of the cars leaving.

It still sounds bad in particular the devastation that flood waters will wreck God bless and keep these people and help them in the days and weeks to come as they salvage what they can from the carnage.

*S* I'm sure you didn't really kill the thread. I've heard several Freepers say the same thing. And I thought it shortly after Cindy appeared on the horizon.

I have this photo hanging on my Den wall, framed. We got it from the RNC, some time ago. For sure it was taken at the Ranch; it is outdoors and see what he holds in his hand. A very natural look, yet he is not exactly "dressed down" is he?

Stephen Mansfield has a new book out. I think its called something like "The Faith of the American Soldier" I just caught the tail end of CNN's book TV and Mansfield was talking about the book and his interviews with the troops. He said that with most that he talked to, the war made their faith stronger and that many looked at fighting for freedom as almost a holy crusader type feeling. Hopefully my leftist leaning library will get this book in soon.

Just to let you all know the coverage here in Oz about the rally in Crawford has been PATHETIC - so anti-Bush. Unreal! Back to throwing cushions at my TV! hehehe

#####

You probably saw as much as we did in the USA! The virtual media blackout really surprised me. Guess my natural cynicism regarding the media wasn't quite comprehensive enough, and I was really saddened by the lack of coverage.

TGFTI = Thank God for the Internet!
