George Runs For Cover - Again

King George has decided to cancel his trip Texas today and is instead going to Colorado. Now what the hell is so damn important in Colorado? Well, Colorado is where NorthCom is located, and would you believe it will be Bush’s first look at Northern Command since it was created in October 2002 in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The FIRST TIME? How damn convenient for him. I can't help but wonder if the fact that a member of the press corps asked Scott McClellan if the trip to San Antonio was nothing but a photo-op had anything to do with the sudden change in plans. Reuters reports: White House spokesman Scott McClellan on Thursday dismissed suggestions that Bush's planned trip to San Antonio, Texas was mainly a photo opportunity and the president himself on Friday said there was no danger he would get in the way of operations. Hours later, the trip was off. So now the story is that he doesn't want to "interfere" with FEMA operations underway for hurricane Rita. McClellan said the Federal Emergency Management Agency decided to reposition search-and-rescue teams from San Antonio closer to the storm, "and we didn't want to slow that decision up in any way." He was even confronted directly by David Gregory of NBC News: Q: What good could you do going down to the hurricane zone, might you get in the way Mr. President? A: One thing I won't do is get in the way. Q: Is this over compensation for the response to Katrina?.....[NO ANSWER] Ok now explain to me how yesterday, and even earlier today "there was no danger he would get in the way of operations" and now all of a sudden, "we didn't want to slow that decision up in any way". Flip...Flop.
