George Bush actually said...

I committed to the people of this part of the world and the gulf coast that the Federal Government would fund recovery and stay committed to...

I'm proud of the generosity of our citizens, and I want them to know that while it is still difficult work here, progress has been made.

Part of the reason I've come down is to tell the people here in the gulf coast that we still think about them in Washington.

people here said, 'We refuse to be held down by the storm; we will overcome it.'
