i think its was kind of weird how the president was saying things. he would like, move his arms and smile alot, even when its a tragedy he was talking about. i think he was saying all that just because its what the people wanted to hear, but he didnt specificlly mention exactly what he's doing to help. i dont think he's going to do much.

When I saw the video its really shocking about incident that really gives you the chills. Bush should take things more responsblity and taking more recognition upon the people and sending more rescue workers to help.
