He’s grim.

He probably won’t land in affected areas, just overfly them.
He has too much concern and decency to detract from the SAR effort by getting in front of a camera.

From staff reports
The Daily News

GALVESTON — President Bush landed Tuesday on the storm-devastated island to receive a briefing from city, state and federal officials about death and property damage caused by Hurricane Ike.

Marine One landed about 10 a.m. at the Galveston County Criminal Justice Center.

Along with Bush, Michael Leavitt, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Dave Paulison, administrator of Federal Emergency Management Agency, and immediately met with Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Bush, who later took an aerial tour of the area, declined to issue a statement to the press or answer any questions while in Galveston.
