Katrina Wrecks Bush's Vacation

August 30, 2005

Finally, after the total devastation of Hurricane Katrina is starting to set in, someone wonders "where exactly is our president?" Jack Cafferty on CNN today ponders the question with Wolf Blitzer:

Jack Cafferty: Where's President Bush? Is he still on vacation?

Wolf Blitzer: He's cut short his vacation he's coming back to Washington tomorrow.

Jack Cafferty: Oh, that would be a good idea. He was out in San Diego I think at a Naval air station giving a speech on Japan and the war in Iraq today. Based on his approval rating, based on the latest polls, my guess is getting back to work might not be a terrible idea.

It sounds to me like we have a Homeland Security Director who is already on the job. Chertoff immediately involuntarily recalled thousands of Coast Guard workers. No color-coded threat levels, nothing. He just cracked the whip.
