[My Favorite Headache]

President Bush to address the nation on Hurricane Katrina...has flown by the damage on Air Force One on way back to D.C.

[AFPhys]

I can't tell you how devastated these areas are.

Want to thank... Red Cross, Catholic Charities, private citizens.

Please contribute cash - designate for hurricane relief.

Red Cross needs our help.

Gulf coast will need our help for a long time.

This is unprecedented.

[Howlin]

I think that's coming.

[steveegg]

78,000 includes all those in shelters, not just those that were in the SuperDome.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

A difficult road...unprecidented challenge, but we will succeed.

[Peach]

The country stands with you and we'll do all we can to help you. God bless you.

Not taking questions.

[JohnBDay]

I love his confidence!

[CFC__VRWC]

Me too, but he probably figures this is the wrong time and place. I tend to agree - it weould just give the Dims the opening they want to attack him for "politicizing" the disaster (God, talk about projecting!).

But he needs to bring it up soon ...

[AFPhys]

America will stand stronger after this.

God Bless you.

Actually in GA we do have a shortage, and stations are running out. They hope to have shipments of fuel returning this weekend.

But its not a panic situation. Although I did fill up, more because the prices, I have no idea what they will be later on in the week/next week.

President Bush:

"New communities will flourish."

[Howlin]

Exactly.

For the protection of the law-abiding survivors of the storm:

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle! Be our protection against the wickedness and the snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast into Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

[MamaB]

That is what makes him a great leader.

[RDTF]

Don't know about yall but I needed to hear that speech from him. Thank you for the calm, strong leadership President Bush.

[the Deejay]

And today...per gov blanco... is a "prayer day."

So, I guess she and the mayor are spending today...praying..... not organizing water.

[Peach]

Right after you said that, I had something in my contact and had to use eyedrops and couldn't type for a minute or two. LOL

[Mo1]

It's call Leadership !!



And I swear if I hear one bleeping Dem bash the President for any of this going on down there

I will lose it!

[paulat]

I love this President. But this speech was awful. No heart.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Amen. Pyro!
