This goes out to the Soutern Coastal States
May your thoughts go out to those in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. This has been said to be the worst disaster since 1909 when San Fransisco was almost razed to the ground by the earthquake and I believe it. 10s of thousands of people have been displaced and hundreds are dying every day.
www.cnn.com has good articles and vidoes if you are not up-to-date on the happenings.
The most disappointing and said part is the appathetic attitude of Bush. Sure he sent down help, but how long have the people down there needed it and he sent it now? They needed it the day after the storm. People have gone 3-4 days with no food or water for goodness sake. These two links are to cnn.com videos, one is a radio interview with the mayor of New Orleans and the other is a news brief with Bush. I suggest watching them both. He talks about "those who have been affected..." Almost the entire city of New Orleans has beed destroyed! He is talking as if a few hundred people are in need here.

"I am looking forward to talking to the people on the ground" "I am looking forward to my trip down there, and I'm looking forward to thanking those on the ground..." I may be wrong here, but I am not sure the phrase "looking forward" is the appropriate term.
This is a catastrophic national disaster and it needs to be treated that way.
