I am enraged that this lying, thieving, murdering war criminal still occupies our White House.

U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris meets Bush after his arrival Tuesday at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa.

But though Harris spoke animatedly for several minutes and kept a firm grip on the president's hand, he wore a grim expression and didn't display the jocularity he usually bestows on local greeters.

A Biloxi resident cries near the Quiet Water Apartments on Gulf Drive in Biloxi, Mississippi August 30, 2005. Helicopters plucked frantic survivors from rooftops of inundated homes on Tuesday and hundreds were feared dead along the U.S. Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina sent a wall of water into Mississippi and flooded New Orleans. In the Mississippi coastal city of Biloxi, hundreds may have been killed after being trapped in their homes when a 30-foot (9 metre) storm surge came ashore, a city spokesman said.

Katrina would flood 85 percent of the city, and tens of thousands of survivors, like this couple, would need to be transported to higher ground.

Many of the survivors waiting for shelter in New Orleans just after the storm are now dispersed throughout the country. Katrina left roughly 100,000 people homeless.
