. . . and how it's sorely lacking in the Bush administration.
A real compassionate leader/ruler always has his people in his mind and heart! Look at the difference a change in the White House had made:
1998
Clinton to Visit North Carolina
President Clinton will fly to Ralgh, N.C., on Monday to tour damage caused by Floyd
abcnews.go.com/sections/u...90919.html
2003
President Bush, ensconced at his Camp David retreat, declared North Carolina and Virginia major disaster areas, qualifying them for federal funds.
Not only Bush a liar, he's a self-serving coward who is pillaging our democracy and economy for the personal benefit of himself and his cronies.
BUSH LIED PEOPLE DIED

I'm not sure I see your point here azellyn.
Hurricane Floyd struck the North Caroline coast on September 15, 1999 - - President Clinton issued the Presidential Disaster Declaration on September 16, 1999.
Hurricane Isabel struck the North Carolina coast on September 18, 2003 - - President Bush issued the Presidential Disaster Declaration on September 18, 2003.
Who cares if Clinton flew over North Carolina a few days afterward? Just another example of Clinton's symbolism over substance.
(By the way, in my delvings into this topic, I learned that Clinton also issued "pre-emptive" disaster declarations for Florida and Georgia before the storm made landfall. Two states that were minimally affected by Hurrican Floyd. I think I'd be pissed if I were a North Carolinan.) ?Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.? - - President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
?We will make no distinction between those who committed these acts and those who harbor them.? - - President George W. Bush

How 'bout a response to Clinton's symbolism over substance azellyn? ?Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.? - - President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

...that illustrates leadership and ethics at the same time (rather, the glaring lack of BOTH):
"White House staff members claimed that Bush remained with the children so as not to "upset" or "alarm" them. This is a truly bewildering excuse. If the country was under attack, Bush might be forgiven for upsetting a few schoolkids. If the President's life was in danger, then so was the life of every little child in that room. At the time, fighter jets had been dispatched to defend New York City. But according to one of the fighter pilots, it would have done no good to catch up to one of the hijacked planes before it landed in a murderous explosion at the next population center. The only person with the authority to order the plane to be shot down, noted the pilot, was the President, who was still reading to schoolchildren."

I see, another non sequiter.
You're pretty good at it.
Go from comparing Presidential performance during a situation when comparable actions are equivalent to an even with no contemporary equal. You must be proud.
How is waiting 24 hours to declare a disaster and then flying over the area a couple of days later, leadership and ethics? I remain perplexed. ?Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.? - - President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
?We will make no distinction between those who committed these acts and those who harbor them.? - - President George W. Bush

"If you will recall just three short years ago, this country was a going operation. ght years of peace, prosperity and the busy, busy Republican scandal machine trying to convince us it was all an illusion. Since then, we've started two wars, still don't have Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussn and have spent millions on people who make us take off our shoes at the airport, and we are still as vulnerable to terrorist attack as ever. The Republican response on that is thr favorite ploy, "Blame Bill Clinton," but the record shows that the Clinton administration was a lot more active in going after Al Qaeda than the Bush administration before Sept. 11. Perhaps you have noticed, the only terrorists we have actually rounded up have all been caught through police operations, often with the cooperation of the Pakistanis, the French, the Spanish, even the Saudis, sometimes. Bombing two countries doesn't seem to have done anything to Al Qaeda except rnforce and rnvigorate it. A connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda at last!"

... Molly Ivins is a joke here in Texas, right? Quoting her is like quoting James Carville, or Paul Begala. So far left she's lost all flesh on her left elbow.
Oh, and of course, she's dead wrong.

That's explains the backwards thinking then. Tell me, is it from the pollutants Bush allowed to saturate the state's air there? No wonder 70% of the people thing Saddam did 9/11. Bush is now polluting the entire country.

Obviously you've lost interest in discussing the "symbolism" vs. "substance" issue. If you decide to pick it back up, let me know azellyn. ?Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.? - - President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
?We will make no distinction between those who committed these acts and those who harbor them.? - - President George W. Bush
