Watch out Minnesota, the Master of Disaster is coming to help!
Bush offers to help rebuild bridge

WASHINGTON - Structural deficiencies were found two years ago in the highway bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis and the state was responsible for fixing them, the Bush administration said Thursday.

Congress began working on a $250 million worth of federal aid and President Bush made plans to visit the site Saturday.

"We in the federal government must respond, and respond robustly, to help the people there not only recover, but to make sure that lifeline of activity — that bridge — gets rebuilt as quickly as possible," Bush said after a Cabinet meeting.

Still stung by criticism of the government's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina, Bush talked with state and local officials in Minnesota. The administration also sent officials to the scene....

5. All show no money.
Remember when he said allllll that money was going to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast for re-building.. Well even the MSM is reporting they are still waiting.

He says he is going to do a lot of things for this country, BUT HE never does. He just ends up giving more to his friends. He wants Minnesota in the republican column bad. That's the only damn reason he is posturing. And the people here have enough class to not show their disrespect for the victims and won't pan bush like he should be.

8. Hmmmm....levees vs. bridges. What's the difference in price?
The bridge is cheaper I'll bet. And I'm betting Minnesota is a republican dominated state.
