Bush Going to Greensburg

President Bush plans a Wednesday visit to Greensburg, KS, the scene of devastation following an 1.7 mile wide EF5 tornado on Friday night:

Sen. Pat Roberts' office announced this afternoon that President Bush plans to visit Greensburg on Wednesday.

"As the recovery effort continues, the president wants to personally visit with the people who have survived such a horrific tragedy," Roberts said.

"This visit will also give the president the chance to observe local, state and federal efforts, enabling him to determine what additional role the federal government can play as we recover and rebuild," Roberts added.

President Bush has clearly learned from the Katrina experience that when a major trauma takes place somewhere, it's important for him to get there as quickly as he can and show the flag. Of course, some Dem will likely claim that, unlike Katrina, Bush only shows up when white people are involved.
