President Bush had a very busy day today, meeting with Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings and First Lady Laura Bush, to discuss the educational needs of children displaced by Hurricane Katrina and how states might be able to absorb the cost of the large numbers of new students. He also met with the Cabinet to discuss the recovery efforts following the hurricane, and reuniting family members with each other, healthcare provision and finances.

At noon, the President met with representatives from national voluntary organizations to discuss how best to help the Americans who are evacuees from the hurricane. He pledged a full investigation into the response to the hurricane.

The President and First Lady also paid their respects to the late Chief Justice of the United States, William Rehnquist, spending a few moments bowing their heads at his casket.

Continue to pray for the President and the people in the ravaged Gulf Coast region, and enjoy this island of refuge from the blind attacks against our GOOD President on the Daily Dose!

Looking at these photos I see that as usual the VP has twice as much paperwork in front of him than anyone else, he always seems to have folders upon folders of papers.

By the way FNC announced earlier today that apparently the President is sending the VP to the disaster area later in the week to report and ensure bureaucracy is not going to stand in the way of getting the job done for the people.

"And it's based upon the fact we've got citizens who are willing to take time to love somebody like they would like to be loved themselves, welcome a stranger in their midst. And for those of you who have done that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're a part of the strength of this country. You're what makes America a great place."

I keep thinking about the fact that the President been saying these things since the 2000 campaign. He was talking about private donations, voluteer efforts and individual civic service responsibilities well before 911. I'm not sure I remember another politician ever doing that before.

Great leaders were made for times like these, and we are so very blessed to have President Bush.

The Salvation Army is the most efficient and reliable of all charities.I knew that a long time ago. I have been contributing to the Salvation Army for many years. They have a really good program in Grand Junction, CO that helps people get back on their feet. I have known several graduates and they are grateful and continue to do well from then on.
