Bush's mother wants survivors to get out of Texas
President George W. Bush returned to the site of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in a bid to quell criticism of his Government's response to the disaster. . . . But his mother, Barbara Bush, appeared to make his troubles even worse by suggesting some of the homeless might be better off. . . . Mrs Bush further inflamed simmering racial tensions when she referred to the 18,000 people now in Houston who had lost everything saying: "This is working very well for them." . . . Mrs Bush, who hails from Texas, also appeared to express concerns that many of the victims might remain in the state's largest city. . . . "Almost everyone I've talked to says 'We're going to move to Houston'," she said. "What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. . . . "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them."

[COMMENT by Lorenzo: This makes it easy to see why Bush is such a mean-spirited man . . . just look at what a wicked mother he has.]
