Bush's visit to Mississippi, carefully scripted by the White House, left little possibility of the president encountering much anger over the federal reconstruction efforts. After meeting with Republican Gov. Haley Barbour and other leaders for lunch, Bush toured a working-class east Biloxi neighborhood that he visited a year ago, passing empty lots and FEMA trailers along the way. The hot sun left his blue shirt sleeves soaked in sweat.

Some of the same people he met last year were in a friendly audience of several dozen local residents who heard from Bush after he finished his tour Monday, a few clutching pictures of themselves being consoled by the president in the aftermath of the storm last September. One of them was Patrick Wright, 38, a delivery driver for FedEx whose house was destroyed by the storm and who is now living in a FEMA trailer.

1. We're A Country Filled With Morons

So it's not difficult for King george to scrape up a few for a PHOTO OP.

Surprising that he even had to pick the same exact MORONS that he did a year ago. Perhaps all the other MORONS left town or something.

2. It is all about the photo op

and nothing to do with really doing anything. bush no mores cares about
most of the people affected by the storm and it's aftermath than does a rat
snake cares about "the feelings" of the mouse it kills.

3. The approved GOP guest list get smaller and smaller.
