    GULF COAST CRISIS: SNAPSHOTS FROM THE STORM
    Barbara Bush's remark clarified

    From Tribune staff reporter Angela Rozas and news services
    Published September 8, 2005


    WASHINGTON -- Barbara Bush was making "a personal observation" when she said poor people at a relocation center in Houston were faring better than before Hurricane Katrina struck, President Bush's spokesman said Wednesday.

    Mrs. Bush, after touring the Astrodome complex in Houston on Monday, said: "What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them." She commented during a radio interview with the American Public Media program "Marketplace."

    White House press secretary Scott McClellan said: "I think she was making a personal observation on some of the comments that people were making that she was running into. ... But what we're focused on is helping these people who are in need."

    Asked if Bush agreed with his mother, McClellan said: "I think that the observation is based on someone or some people that were talking to her that were in need of a lot of assistance, people that have gone through a lot of trauma and been through a very difficult and trying time. And all of a sudden, they are now getting great help in the state of Texas from some of the shelters."

    One of these days you're going to have to explain who this
    "Kayne" person is anyway & why anybody should listen to
    anything he's ever said.

    "Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them," Mrs. Bush told American Public Media's "Marketplace" program, before returning to her multi-million dollar Houston home.

    I can't see that this is a negative or insensitive comment.
    "Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality....." I believe that. I would be overwhelmed if I was warm and safe and dry after losing everything. The generosity of strangers would overwhelm me that's for sure.

    "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underpriviledged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them........." I believe that too. Many of the people rescued did not having electricity or running water in their homes. Didn't have a safe place to sleep or enough food to eat even before Katrina. If I was in that situation, I'd be thrilled to be in the shelter.

    Now the part about Mrs. Bush returning to her multi-million dollar Houston home, is just unnecessary. While it's the truth, the whole story seems slanted to cast the Bush family in a negative light. Are they supposed to be ashamed that they have a nice home? Why? Are they supposed to leave their nice home to move into the shelter? Why? I'm scratching my head. 'Cuz I don't see why her comments were taken negatively.

    And no, I didn't vote for either President's Bush.

    Here's a jewel from Dr Phil...

    "We have never seen anything like this before"
    -talking about Katrina..

    I guess he's too busy yelling at people and counting his money to remember the Tsunami of 2004.

    Yeah, we have seen it before, this time it showed up on our doorstep.

    Richard,

    Is this the person you've been obsessing about? I saw that
    concert & you are right, it was a lame choice of songs to sing.
