George & the Sacred Cow Go to Louisiana for Photo-Op Number EIGHT -pix->>>

[Stephanie]

George will be helping out with Habitat for Humanity. I'll be curious to see how that goes. I'm sure he's never seen a hammer before in his life.

George, I served with Jimmy Carter, I knew Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter was a friend of mine. George, you are no Jimmy Carter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush is showing off the progress in post-hurricane New Orleans, dining with officials in the French Quarter and staying overnight in a hotel, while focusing on a need to speed the building of temporary housing for people who cannot yet go home.

***

On his only other overnight in the city a month ago, Bush had to bunk on the USS Iwo Jima, which had been docked near downtown to help with the relief effort. This time, improvements in the city mean he was able to stay in a hotel.

***

On Tuesday, Bush — accompanied by his wife, Laura — is to help at a site in Covington, La., just north of New Orleans, where the non-profit Habitat for Humanity is building new homes for storm victims.

***

From Covington on Tuesday, Bush is to fly to the coastal Mississippi town of Pass Christian to attend the reopening of an elementary school.

5. She's not smiling !!

That might be the first photo I've seen of her without the smile mask on. Is it that they didn't publish any before, or is she getting a whiff of the disaster that's coming their way?


Hey George ~ In order to be successful you must always appear to be successful. You ain't looking too successful! Enjoy the karma.


P.S. Sacred Cow. LOL!

8. Going to work

Why aren't they in work clothes, jeans atleast, and a chainsaw.

9. * said after he took office he wasn't going to have his finger in the wind

Meaning he wasn't going to be swayed by polls.

8 trips - - - - no not polls. I guess Air Force one pilots just lost all the other maps.

On another note what happened to first navy ship that followed Katrina into NO.

It was the one like the USS Iwo Jima, had helios, fuel, water, medics but couldn't get
the ok to fly rescue missions. (red tape)

When two other navy ships went out into the gulf to miss Rita it was not mentioned?
