Sitting here in Tampa while at a conference I spoke with a guy who works for the Red Cross as a first responder. He told me the same thing the firefighters in California said about the Bush visit. When Bush comes to a disaster scene for one of his photo-ops it stops everything. Relief efforts stop, traffic stops and everything is on hold while the Bush Secret Service secures the area and basically shuts it down for the photo-op.
So to show how concerned Bush is he prevents people from getting the relief and supplies they need for his own publicity. That’s a sorry position to put people in and it’s no wonder Bush has such a poor reputation in disaster areas. He is a showboat!
