Mr. President... Is this trip really necessary?

After watching another day of reports concerning hurricane Katrina and what is happening to the poor souls that are finding themselves in a "living hell", I then get to see a short clip of President Bush talking about the "oil crises" that Katrina has caused and that he is going to authorize release of oil the the national reserves.

He then goes on to tell us that we should limit our driving and don't buy gasoline unless really necessary. In order words, conserve and don't use any more fuel than is absolutely required.

Then what does President Bush do... he's going to "tour" the Katrina disaster area.

Now really, do you think that having the President fly over the area is going to help the victims or make them feel better.

And, Mr. President, what about saving fuel... I'm sure that Air Force One and the fleet of helicopters are not getting the best of "miles per gallon", are they?

The trip is nothing but a boondoggle!
