Bush Delivers Commencement Address at Greensburg, Kansas High School
In spite of all the leftwing bozos who feel Bush is an uncaring monster, the president showed his admiration for the people in Greensburg on Saturday:


GREENSBURG, Kan. - President Bush hailed the resilience of this town and its tiny high school graduating class Sunday, one year after a tornado barreled through with astonishing fury.

Never before had Bush delivered a commencement address at a high school, and his presence was meant to reflect how far Greensburg has come. From nearly total devastation last May 4, this town is recovering, and hope has been rekindled.
At the center of attention is the Class of 2008 — 10 boys and eight girls. They finished their senior year at a makeshift campus of trailers.
"We celebrate the resurgence of a town that stood tall when its buildings and homes were laid low," Bush said in his remarks at the temporary high school gym.

And even though no one can fault him for supporting Greensburg, the author of this AP story could not resist taking a cheap shot about a related story:

Such words have taken on more meaning since the failed federal response to Hurricane Katrina, which stunned the nation and hurt Bush's standing. The government has rallied to show a faster, more aggressive reaction to disasters over the last few years.

Unfair and inaccurate, but we know that leftwing journalists would never allow the truth to stand in their way.
