Project Katrina

Today Bush visited the tornado-battered South and offered this promise to residents:

I don’t want people to think something is going to happen that’s not going to happen. And therefore when we say something is going to happen to help them get their feet back on the ground, it will happen.

Just for anyone breathing a sigh of relief knowing that now Bush has said help is on the way, keep in mind what he said in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina:

And tonight I also offer this pledge of the American people: Throughout the area hit by the hurricane, we will do what it takes, we will stay as long as it takes, to help citizens rebuild their communities and their lives.
