Apparently not.
President Bush told those affected by a string of deadly tornadoes in the South that the U.S. government will help them and the rest of the country is praying for them.
"Loss of life, loss of property — prayers can help and so can the government," Bush said Wednesday. "I do want the people in those states to know the American people are standing with them."
The president said he called the governors of Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee and assured them the administration stood ready to help and to deal with any emergency requests.
"I wanted them to know that this government would help them," he said. "But more importantly, I wanted them to be able to tell the people in their states that the American people hold those who suffer up in prayer."
This is so ridiculous. Even after all this time, Bush has no clue as to the nature of his job and his responsibility towards the people of this nation.
These people need assistance in the clean-up and restoration of their communities, not a pious platitude from Bush.
If your community is in this shape, and people just call you up and offer nothing but their thoughts, you just are not better off. God knows that these people are suffering, God needs people to respond to the physical and spiritual needs of these people with ACTION.
