http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070304/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_tornadoesSuprisingly, President Bush made it to Alabama and Georgia to view tornadoes damages and offer words of encouragement to families of victims.
Bush finally made it to the South Saturday to view sites in Alabama and Georgia that were heavenly damaged by the tornado storms that hit and killed 19 people on Thursday. Apparently Friday, after quickly being put together Bush and his administration decided that it was time that they promote the administration's new "stepped-up efffort."
After recieving harsh criticism based on their sluggish efforts of relief in New Orleans, Bush visited tornado sites and even took the time to release federal dollars to aid for recovery and individual assistance.
Enterprise resident's say that they are unsure of what kind or type of federal assistance to expect but let me be the first to say "None!" I am suprised that Bush responded so quickly. I think had it not been for the promotion of this new effort that efforts of relief probably would have been held off for another week or so.
At least the people of Alabama are kind of aware that assistance might not come soon. They have begun to help each other with relief and most of them have made their way in to town to help other members. Way to go Alabama.
