THEN: Clinton surveys Ark. tornado damage
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 25, 1999 (AP) - Acting like the governor he used to be, President Clinton went home to Arkansas on Sunday to inspect the damage a barrage of tornadoes wreaked on houses and trees in his old stomping grounds. "This is a tragedy we all take personally," he said.
The president walked streets of Quapaw Quarters that he jogged when he lived 12 years in the Governor's Mansion nearby. This time, rather than well-manicured yards and well-kept houses, his eyes fell on smashed rooftops draped in blue tarpaulin, houses that seemed folded in half, an uprooted tree lounging across a crushed Volvo.

Clinton with Victims of the Asian Tsunami Sunday, it seemed that here, far from Washington's impeachment furor, Clinton drew as much emotionally from the storm victims as he gave. He clasped old friends in long hugs and placed his hand sympathetically on the shoulder of a man who stopped clearing debris from his yard to shake the president's hand.
"It's good for him, and it's good for them," said Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater, also an Arkansan. "You know who your friends are when you're standing with them in difficult times, and they're standing with you in difficult times."

NOW: Bush goes golfing and vacations and plays music at his stump speeches....while New Orleans is obliterated off the map. What...Him Worry?... NaH...just a bunch of poor people drowning down there...not his rich supporters who he would personally swim out to save. Oh, he will go back to DC tomorrow and the poor guy is cutting his five week vacation short by two days... what a sacrifice this guy makes for our
country. August 30, 2005
Too too long!
The real question is how much longer is he president? The man should be impeached for irresponsibility, immaturity, indifference, idiocy, incompetence, ineffectual response, and general ickiness. Does he ever wipe that smirk off his face! How dare he go to New Orleans and hug those people - was that some kind of reward for their suffering. UGH. If we haven't woken up yet we deserve every single thing we get from this administration. The poor do not have a voice if we don't speak up.
