The following excerpt from the Associated Press (AP) speaks for itself . . .
Houston, Texas (AP) - Former Presidents Bush and Clinton got smiles, hugs and requests for autographs when they met with refugees from Hurricane Katrina - but it was Bush's wife who got attention for some of her comments.
Barbara Bush, who accompanied the former presidents on the tour of the Astrdome complex Monday, said the relocation to Houston is "working very well" for some of the poor people forced out of New Orleans.
"What I'm hearing which is sort of scary, is that all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed with the hospitality," she said during a radio interview with the American Public Media Program "Marketplace". "And So many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underpriveledged anyway, so this is working very well for them."
Her comments came as the two former presidents visited with hundreds of 23,600 hurricane refugees and announced the creation of the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund.
Hmmmm.
