Reply #18: This pic was up on DU originally

[ewagner]

I wish I had the exact date...

look carefully...Bush is receiving a briefing BEFORE THE STORM from Max Mayfield...Director of the National Hurricane Center.

on edit...the location of the storm on the tv map seems to indicate Sunday afternoon or sunday night.



Two things:

First, If my memory is correct, the pic was released by the White House to show how "on top of things" Dubya was.

Second, I distinctly remember DUers complaining about:

a. the telephone on the desk didn't appear to have any wires running to it, and'
b. that we spent so much money (apparently) building the conference room and links AT THE CRAWFORD PIG FARM! This picture was supposedly taken on the pig farm the night before the hurricane hit.
