Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W. Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the
poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them."

"What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."

Yeah, it's hospitality that overwhelmed them. Perhaps at the end of the day, when all the victims have been rescued, fed, housed, clothed; after the sick have received the medical care they need; after the dead have been recovered, honored and mourned; perhaps we can organize a search-and-rescue mission for Barb's compassion.

Rescue and relief efforts are being led by a man raised by this woman, which explains a few things. The victims of this tragedy deserve better.
