"Biblical Proportions"
Hard work. Think 'bout it a lot.
My heart bleeds, I have to admit. I feel the President's pain.
"It was not enough for the president to bank his plane and look at the window and say, 'Oh, what a devastating site,' " Senator Frank R. Lautenberg, Democrat of New Jersey, said in a statement on Thursday. "Instead of looking out the window of an airplane, he should have been on the ground giving the people devastated by this hurricane hope."
White House officials, already sensitive that Mr. Bush is suffering the lowest approval ratings of his presidency and under pressure to manage a catastrophe of what they called biblical proportions, reacted with frustration.

This is where I, the smug, insensitive, atheistic bleeding-heart liberal jump in and exclaim: "Hey! It's their Bible. Should be a easy as pie!" Won't the President just pick up the phone and jawbone a bit with The Father?
