President Bush, stung by accusations that he responded too slowly to Hurricane Katrina, yesterday traveled to Texas hours after Hurricane Rita slammed ashore to monitor relief operations.
"Our federal government is well-organized and well-prepared to deal with Rita," Mr. Bush told reporters in Colorado before flying to Austin, Texas. "We've got teams on the ground, beginning to analyze the situation and prepare the necessary response."
Last night, the president issued a statement declaring major disasters in Louisiana and Texas.
The declaration makes both states, local governments and some private nonprofit groups eligible for federal assistance, including grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other disaster relief.
In Washington, officials said Rita, which made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana state line around 3 a.m. yesterday, was not nearly as devastating as Katrina, which struck Louisiana and Mississippi on Aug. 29.
"The damage is not as serious as we had expected it to be," R. David Paulison, acting director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, told reporters. "The evacuations worked."
Still, Mr. Bush said places like Lake Charles, La., "got hit hard" by Rita. He cautioned residents who evacuated not to return home too soon.
"It's very important for the citizens who have headed to east Texas to understand that even though the storm has passed the coastline, the situation is still dangerous because of potential flooding," the president said. "Listen carefully to the local authorities about whether or not it is safe to return."
Mr. Bush spent Friday night at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, home of U.S. Northern Command, and used the base as a command post to monitor Rita's arrival early yesterday. The president later flew to Austin and met with emergency workers for his home state in an underground

Why cause he had to go check and make sure his illegals are going to get their amnesty.
The WT are idiots. It was Blanco who didn't allow FEMA in. In other words, if Bush and Brown hadn't had FEMA there post hast, how could they have been barred from entering NO? Obviously Bush was on the job. Tell me one hurricane where it didn't take FEMA 3-4 days to get set up and then tell me how long it took FEMA to get to the gates of LA? It was LA's first responders and politicians who were not on the job.
What a totally dumbass remark.
The media looks at everything that happens and tries to see how it can be fit into the template of "Bush is evil and stupid." In this case, not only were they trying to use Hurricane Katrina to do as much damage as possible to Bush's popularity, but they had to try to deflect blame from Democrat politicians, particularly because one was female and one was a person of color.
No they're not. Its Bush thats the idiot. Even when the guy has the truth and facts on his side, he takes the blame. Some call that leadership.....I call it moronic stupidity! Bush has had opportunity after opportunity to expose and destroy the Democraps and he just loves to blow it thinking that there is honor in trying to be above it all. Must be Republican party status quo!
You're on the wrong thread.
Sorry. I didn't realise this was a bash Bush thread. Must have checked into the wrong damn forum.

How convenient to leave out the rest of my comment that you obviously cannot defend Bush against! Call me a DUmmie, but at least I don't turn the blind eye to the obvious! Tell me you live your life that way?
it is sad but the appearance of 'doing something,' even when the time spent appearing that way actually prevents you from actually spending time on the problem, is important in the media age of politics, particularly when the media hates you.
(And obviously you as well.....)
Oh, now I'm confused. I thought this was a bash Bush thread. Is it a Bash Bush thread or a bash the Senate thread? Or is it a bash Bush through bashing the Senate thread? Kind of convoluted if so.
"Why cause he had to go check and make sure his illegals are going to get their amnesty."
You are right. We should have elected Kerry as President.
Its neither. Its a "exposing the truth" thread. Sammon was attacked for stating the obvious, Perception is reality. Problem is alot of name calling and no refuting of the facts! Truth will do that!
Really? I havene't attacked Sammon at all. I like the guy.
The fact is that Bush isn't an idiot. Take your own advice about name calling.
It's obvious to the "DUmmies," too, if you ask them. You sound just like 'em.
