"The great thing about this president is that he doesn't try to use tragedy to gain immediate attention for himself," said Bob Martinez, a former governor of Florida who has endured his share of hurricanes and other disasters. "He talks to those with knowledge, and then he acts." Its always interesting to see observations of Bush by others. I read their views of Bush and I don't see it......not one signal piece of it. They showed him yesterday sitting in AF one looking out over the damaged region. It recalled his vague listening to the reading of a kid's book during 9/11 They talk in the article about his being a "hands on" manager....sitting in AF one looking out a window is hands on? That's not my understanding of the term. From the moment I saw the NO mayor in action, I had a sense of who he is: his abilities, his sense of power and his ability to manage effectively. I didn't know what party he was from, and I could have cared less. I just knew that if anyone could do it, he could. I don't get that with Bush at all. IMO if it gets done, it will be in spite of him. ted
