Louisiana Thanks You President George H Bush!!!

I saw this at the The Dead Pelican.

From local news reports.

Former President George H.W. Bush, former Secretary of State James Baker and Gov. Bobby Jindal will visit Cameron today to assess the damage caused by last year’s Hurricane Ike.
The visit will include an aerial tour, an open briefing with Cameron Parish officials, a closed-door meeting with the Louisiana delegation to the Bush-Clinton Recovery Fund and a news conference.
Jim McGrath, a spokesman for Bush’s office, said Monday the former president and his former secretary of state will arrive this morning at the Chennault International Airport by private aircraft. The men will then take a helicopter to Cameron.
The helicopter will land near South Cameron Memorial Hospital, where the meetings will be held for about 90 minutes.
“We have already received some good information from local officials, but we wanted Secretary Baker and President Bush to see it for themselves. President Bush wants to confer with President Clinton before the money starts being distributed,” McGrath said.
McGrath said the visit is also to bring awareness to the Bush-Clinton Recovery Fund and collect donations for it.
“The sole purpose of the Bush-Clinton Recovery Fund is to raise private funds and funds from other interested parties to direct it into these needed areas along the Gulf Coast — primarily Texas and Louisiana,” he said.
McGrath said there will be more hurricane damage tours in the weeks to come in the Texas areas hit by Hurricane Ike.
This is the third time Bush has come to Cameron to tour hurricane damage.
He and Academy Award-winning actor George Clooney visited in December 2006 for the rebuilding of South Cameron Memorial Hospital, for which the former president presented a $2 million grant.
Bush also came to Cameron in October 2005 to tour storm damage from Hurricane Rita.
The former president was scheduled to come this past December to tour hurricane damage but canceled because of bad weather.
