McCain and Obama Monitor Gustav, Bush Makes Right Choice

I am pleased to see that President Bush is being proactive with regard to Hurricane Gustav's impending ferocity, and that he has chosen to stand with the frightened people of the Gulf Coast instead of attending the Republican National Convention in St.Paul. He finally has acknowledged his administration's terribly inept response to Hurrican Katrina, and the horrible aftermath it helped create.

Senator Obama and his staff have been in contact with first responders and the medical and evacuation officials along the Gulf Coast to offer whatever assistance that is needed, and Senator McCain has consulted with the Southern Governors along the storm's pathway both in person and through surrogates to offer assistance and guidance as well.

Both Democrats and Republicans must continue to acknowledge that when combatting a potential national disaster, unity works better than division.
