George Bush actually said...

"This is an unprecedented response to an unprecedented crisis, which demonstrates the compassion and resolve of our Nation."

"I take responsibility for the Federal government's problems, and for its solutions."

"We have seen our fellow citizens left stunned and uprooted and witnessed the kind of desperation no citizen of this great and generous Nation should ever have to know."

"We must have plans to evacuate large numbers of people in an emergency and to provide food, water, and security as needed."
