I don't know if you remember but after Katrina when they were slow getting help
to the people (something about the Louisiana national guard being in Iraq)
and Cuba offered to help by sending Drs., tents, blankets, food, and other
help and that they could be there in less then 36 hours and w said no thanks.

It is so good to have a grown up in the White House again.
