US Newswire: "HHS is deploying approximately 70 nurses and five pharmacists to four locations along the eastern seaboard of Florida to provide services to special needs shelters. These shelters are set up to provide basic nursing and medical care to individuals already suffering from sickness or injuries or at high risk of illness often due to age. These shelters are located in Indian River County, St. Lucie County, and Martin County. HHS also is assembling six additional teams to deploy to Florida, as the need arises." This is a great idea - except it has only been used, to our knowledge, to help out in Bush's brother's state. No such aid has been dispensed to any of the other states hit with tornadoes, wildfires, and hurriances in the past three years.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson announced today that the department is coordinating the deployment of dozens of emergency medical personnel to provide assistance to communities damaged by Hurricane Frances, while also urging Florida residents to take necessary precautions to protect their health and safety as they begin cleaning up from the hurricane.

In addition, four Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) units are being used to increase medical staffing at shelters for people who evacuated their homes in the storm's path. Members of the Lake County MRC, from Travares, Fla., are supporting special needs shelters around Orlando, and the West Palm and Lake County MRCs are working with their local Red Cross Chapters to assist residents staying in local shelters. In Augusta, Ga., the MRC volunteers of the East Central Health District are providing medical staff to treat people injured or displaced by the hurricane who arrive at the local shelters. And the Clark County (Nev.) MRC is traveling with their local Red Cross Chapter to Florida to assist those affected by the storm.

1. I'm sure they need all the help they can get

in Florida. This is probably a legitimate response.

3. No!

"it has only been used, to our knowledge, to help out in Bush's brother's state. No such aid has been dispensed to any of the other states hit with tornadoes, wildfires, and hurriances (sic) in the past three years."

It is clear that * is pulling out all the stops to help Jebbie, and boost his own chances in November. Other disasters have been declared and less aid has been sent. Clearly political in motivation, no matter if it helps people. We know they don't care about the suffering of others - UNLESS it can be manipulated for their own benefit.

Expect to see * driving a bulldozer or giving blood on Fux News any day now.

4. Please list the disasters

that at all compare to two hurricanes in ten days doing tens of Billions in damage?

2. No. The President sent Federal aid to a disaster area.

One of the few times he's been doing his JOB in months.

Had he NOT we would have reason to complain.

He better do a whole lot MORE than that in the next few days.
