Laura Bush last night said "When such events occur, we are reminded that, first, we are all Americans, and that our shared American ideals will always transcend political parties and partisanship," she said. "We hope that the people on the Gulf Coast know that the American people are here to do what we can to assist them." and that President Bush "has been speaking with the officials in the region to make sure they have what they need from the federal government." I would have liked her to add "He is doing so because he fucked up so bad 3 years ago during Hurricane Katrina"
