Bush to mark first Katrina anniversary
By JENNIFER LOVEN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush marks the anniversary of the hurricane that still haunts his presidency with worries a new tropical storm could bring the first test of his promise that the botched post-Katrina response will not be repeated.

As Ernesto cut a path through the Caribbean, Bush prepared for a visit Monday and Tuesday to the region that is little recovered from Hurricane Katrina's devastating strike last August. Forecasters believe Ernesto, which grew into the first hurricane of the season Sunday and then weakened back to a tropical storm, will emerge with some force into the Gulf of Mexico later this week.

The latest tracking indicated the system would most threaten southern and western Florida, a predication that seemed to shift New Orleans out of the expected danger zone.

Regardless, with Bush's image as a leader still tarnished by the halting federal response to Katrina, the president wants to make clear that he has been fully engaged in planning for Ernesto as he vacationed over the weekend at his family's summer home on the Maine coast. Aides noted he was briefed regularly and said White House representatives were coordinating with emergency management officials.

3. How can he repeat something he hasn't started yet.
He wouldn't even let us look for the dead properly. That should be one of the first things. All the money he says he sent is going to fund his agencies, not rebuild. And pay for all those empty trailers.

4. Maybe he'll turn into pat robberson
and pray all future natural disasters away. Since Ernesto is bearing down on jebbie's Florida we can be assured of a swift and completely overdone response.
Meanwhile the Gulf is still in ruins along with hundreds of thousands of lives.
let's keep the iraq money for a month and use it for our needs, fucking twit.

6. Right!
,the president wants to make clear that he has been fully engaged in planning for Ernesto as he vacationed over the weekend at his family's summer home on the Maine coast.

First; summer home :puke:

And second; I'll bet he hasn't spent one SECOND thinking about anything past his next drink. Tell us what you think we want to hear, is as deep as Pinhead gets.

He's so superficial and transparent.
